Fertility Foods

Acupunture and Infertility ~ Natural Fertility
The use of acupuncture to treat infertility is a comparatively new concept for western societies. The ideology behind acupuncture for infertility is that acupuncture will increase the amount of blood flow to the sexual organs and balance the hormones present in the body. This practice is proven to be effective by increasing ovarian potency in women and assisting in sperm creation for men.
Preconception Planning
It is not just the female who should prepare herself for pregnancy. Males have an important role to play too and this should not be overlooked. If both sets of parents are in top physical health pre pregnancy then this should assist in the maximization of a healthy sperm, ova and uterus and thus ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Infertility And The Mind-Body Connection
If there is because if there is some emotional block in the "couple" that creates the infertility problem in the first place it will sabotage any attempts to get around it. Although many physicians are reluctant to accept this, it is my view that emotional issues can and do have an upper hand in such cases.

The South American country of Peru is home to numerous beneficial plants, including Maca, a legendary sex-enhancing root passed down from the Inca. I'd heard about Maca for years. It has been dubbed "Peruvian ginseng," even though it bears no relation to ginseng. But like ginseng, the plant is employed to increase strength, energy, stamina, libido and sexual function, a winning combination of health benefits if there ever was one.
Male Infertility and Glutathione
"Glutathione, pronounced "gloo-ta-thigh-on" and known as GSH, just might be one of the most extraordinary overall health-boosters of modern nutritional medicine. GSH may help with everything from heightened immune system functioning to overcoming addictions to anti-aging."

EFT for Infertility
Infertility, particularly unexplained infertility can have its roots in many sources which include emotional and psychological issues that can potentially impede conception.
