Botanical medicine, when employed skillfully, promotes your body to perform its natural processes better.

Herbs and supplements for fertility
The Chinese have used herbal medicine to optimize both male and female reproductive systems for many centuries.  (Texts dating from 200 B.C.E. describe fertility-enhancing plants.)  With proper herbal treatment:
•    Women can expect an increase in fertile cervical fluids, thicker, healthier, endometrial lining, and more regular cycles.
•    Men generally see changes in sperm quality, motility and volume over the course of three months, the typical reproduction time for sperm.

Herbs and supplements for post-partum rebuilding

Midwives, both Eastern and Western, have employed nature’s gifts for supporting moms.  Herbs can help women:
•    Boost faltering milk production
•    Fight infections (upper respiratory, yeast imbalances)
•    Recover physically from the taxing experience of birth and childcare
•    Support mood

Herbs and supplements for digestion

Depending on the condition, patients take herbs to:
•    Promote peristalsis (the natural movement of the intestines)
•    Stimulate the production of digestive enzymes
•    Reduction of burning and inflammation
All of these actions result in better nutrient absorption, elimination, and ultimately increased vitality.
