Holistic Remedies
Nowadays, many sterile couples turn to holistic infertility treatments when trying to conceive. Holistic Medical Association of Canada defines holistic medicine as follows:
"Holistic medicine is a health system that promotes a collaborative relationship between all involved and leads to the optimal realization of the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects that emphasize the need to look at the whole person, including analysis of the physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, social, spiritual, and lifestyle values, including all stated diagnostic and treatment modalities, including medication and surgery, unless there is an alternative. Holistic medicine focuses on education and responsibility for personal endeavors for balance and well-being. "
Some aspects of holistic medicine include relaxation, acupuncture, positive thinking, and exercise. In general, those who take a holistic approach to conception should avoid all unhealthy practices. In addition, it is recommended to avoid chemicals as found in perfumes and household cleaners as much as possible.
Holistic fertility practices suggest that men should avoid processed foods and foods that contain large amounts of estrogen. It is also important to follow a high fiber diet. It is also recommended to take vitamins C and E, zinc, selenium, carnitine and beta-carotene as dietary supplements.
Men should also wear loose underwear made from natural fabrics, avoid hot tubs, and avoid cigarette smoke and contact with heavy metals. All of these measures have been shown to help improve sperm count and health.
A recent study by the Harvard School of Public Health also recommends that men's soy-based foods should be avoided because they have been linked to infertility and have decreased sperm counts.
Women are advised to maintain a healthy weight and eat a nutritious diet. Alcohol and coffee should be avoided, and women should also avoid contact with heavy metals. Women should take folic acid and vitamins B12 and B6.
Studies have shown that dental fillings with mercury impair fertility and should be avoided. Ask your dentist if you think you have mercury fillings.
A low magnesium level can also affect fertility and increase the risk of miscarriage. Couples can benefit from taking magnesium supplements.
Bee pollen is another interesting substance that has been shown to stimulate ovarian function and the ability of eggs to survive the incubation period.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a holistic approach that focuses on harmonizing energy flows and achieving a balance between Yin and Yang. It includes acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition. Acupuncture has also been shown to help couples receiving IVF treatment.
While modern medical practices should not be neglected when it comes to treating fertility problems, a holistic approach can increase the chances a couple can imagine.
