If you have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive, consider traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine treats the whole person for optimal health and balance rather than merely focusing on single issues; improved fertility is a side effect of improved overall health. Choosing Chinese herbs is a complex process; there are literally hundreds of herbs in the pharmacy of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, which will be chosen and blended for each individual according to their unique needs. Some herbal combinations are used frequently and available as patent medicines or herbal combinations.
