Some common plants that can influence fertility are red clover,
partridge berry, liferoot, wild carrot and wild yam. You can
grow these, or buy them at any health food store. Some other
plants that have been known to increase or decrease fertility
are oat straw, jack-in-the-pulpit, and parsley.
Found in fields and along the road, red clover is a favored
plant to increase fertility. It's blossoms stay a bright pink
from mid-summer to fall. The flower tops are harvested and
either dried for medical use, or eaten as is.
The raw blossoms are often used in salads or cooked with
grains, like rice. Another way to benefit from this fertility
enhancing plant is to add one ounce of the dried blossoms
to a quart size canning jar of boiling water. Seal and let
sit at room temperature for at least four hours. To improve
the taste, dried peppermint has also been added to the boiling
water.
Many women have reported having successful pregnancies thanks
to drinking a cup or more a day of the special flower and
water mix. This mix can help even if there is scaring of the
fallopian tubes, irregular menses, or just "unexplained" infertility.
This herb does not work right away. It may take up to a couple
months before any effects are noted, and up to a year or two
for pregnancy to occur.
Partridge berry, sometimes called "twin flower" can most
often be found blanketing the forest floors in evergreen.
In the spring, when it flowers, there are two flowers per
bud. Then, when the berries form, the two flowers fall off,
leaving one berry to ripen. Definitely an interesting icon
for fertility with the symbolism of two flowers forming one
berry. Partridge berry leaves can make for a good salad or
bean dressing. Fill a small jar with fresh leaves, adding
in apple cider vinegar until the jar is full. Then seal the
jar with wax paper and rubber band, labeling it with the date.
Let the jar sit for at least six weeks before you enjoy.
A powerful medicine lies in all parts of the wildflower
known as Liferoot. Liferoot is found in swamps and other moist
places with rich soil. The flowers and leaves are known to
regulate hormone production, relieve menstrual pains, improve
fertility, and increase libido. The plant should be taken
in small doses at least 14 times a month for results.
Wild Carrot or Queen Anne's lace is a proven anti-fertility
herb that can usually be found on road sides. It is closely
related to carrot, as well as parsley, dill, caraway, anise,
and celery. Wild Carrot is also related to a now extinct plant,
whose seeds were once used in ancient Greek and Roman times
as birth control. The seeds of wild carrot are collected in
late fall. A small study has shown that when eating a teaspoon
full of wild carrot seeds, the effectiveness of it was 99%,
and with virtually no side effects.
There is a danger, however, of confusing wild carrot, with
poison hemlock. Poison Hemlock does not smell or tastes of
carrot, yet people are warned to be careful. Something to
look for is that Wild Carrot's leaves are hairy, while poison
hemlock's leaves are smooth.
Wild yam has also been tested as an anti-fertility herb.
Since it was originally used in birth control pills, taking
wild yam extract in large doses blocks conception. However,
when wild yam is taken in small doses it actually increases
fertility. When taken daily, the hormone like substances found
in the root convert into actual hormones like progesterone,
which decreases fertility, or LH and FSH, which increase fertility.
