First of all, fertility problems are multiple and there are no medicinal herbs suitable for everything. Thinking that there is an herb for fertility is an inappropriate approach, although for marketing reasons this label is usually placed on plants such as sage (Salvia officinalis) or worm (Artemisia vulgaris).

Food and life habits to preserve fertility are a priority, medicinal plants and additives are of the second order. That is, if vitamins and minerals are lacking in the body and there is stress, there are no natural plants or pills capable of overcoming these situations and ensuring fertility.

In the book What the herbs know we explain how we use verbena (Verbena officinalis) in the month: we collected a safe use to soothe pain and ensure the effective emptying of the uterus. The only infusion occurs in the first three days of each month after dinner, no more, from the first day of each month. I recommended doing it in a year, but there are also those who have done it all their lives.

About Salvia is said to be the woman's plant, but it would be necessary to specify which woman, at what time and how much/or how to take it. Most women with fertility problems suffer from hyper estrogenism and for this reason salbia is not suitable, it is even a medicinal herb that must be avoided by having phytoestrogens. However, the steam bath is a safe cure, even in the cases mentioned. In the book we recommend a steam bath with fresh sage at every change of season and many of you are witnesses of what is beneficial, as we have received many testimonies over these years.

The mile (Achillea millefolium) and hair (Calendula officinalis) are great medicinal herbs for women's hormonal health and we know that lack of hormonal health makes fertility difficult. In the follicular phase we can take the infusion of both, one or more infusions according to the woman.

To this reader who asked me I reminded him that there is no hormonal health without liver health and that is why I made him see the need for a spring liver cleanse. Hyper-estrogenism is a major enemy of fertility and the liver is of vital importance for the elimination of accumulated estrogen. I explained how to prepare a spring infusion for liver and bile cleaning with Fumaria officinalis. In addition to crying, I insisted on the need to take an infusion that is prepared mixed with chicory herb (Taraxacum officinale), boldo (Peumus boldus) and saffron (Satureja montana). By the way, rebutting the chimera that can be achieved with a single medicinal herb.

All these plants are not suitable for use during pregnancy and lactation and have other marginal consequences, so they should be informed before use.
