Dear Bob Liebert,

What herbal medicines work for inducing ovulation?? IS there anything that is equivalent to Clomid??

Michelle

Dear Friend,

The herbal approach is not to "force" ovulation, but to create the optimum health and the body's own hormonal balance to maintain what is a normal function. Of course there are many factors (inflammation, blockage, cysts, etc.) that can prevent normal ovulation, and these should be addressed. Some of the herbs that address both hormonal balance and overall health of the female organs include: Chaste Berry, False Unicorn, Black Haw, Squaw Vine and Raspberry Leaf. They would encourage normal ovulation and fertility.

You can buy these herbs and many more in the Formula and Single Herb sections of the Teeter Creek Herb website. Herbs that don't appear in the Formula or Single Herb lists can usually be requested in the "Message" section at the bottom of the order page.

The information expressed is the personal observations of Herbalist Bob Liebert based on his personal experience and his studies of folk and traditional herbalism. These observations are not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical diagnosis and treatment. Uses of many of the herbs have not been scientifically verified.
