Herbs for the Reproductive System Uterine Tonics - these have a specifically toning and strengthening action upon the whole system, both on the tissue of the organs and on their functioning. While each has its unique associated actions they all aid the whole reproductive system :
Emmenagogues - stimulate and promote a normal menstrual flow:
Hormonal normalizers - this is a very important group. They balance and normalize the functioning of the endocrine glands and so aid the proper functioning of the reproductive system.
Demulcents - used to provide a soothing and healing action on the system's mucus membranes. The urinary demulcents are often appropriate:
Antiseptics - specifically urinary :
Nervines - the proper and healthy activity of the nerves is vital for the reproductive system to work correctly. Many of the emmenagogues have nervine activity but in addition it is worth considering these relaxing herbs :
Amenorrhea - the absence of menstruation. Check first whether the delay is due to pregnancy otherwise these herbs might act as an abortifacient.
Menorrhagia - heavier flow than normal. This can be normalized with the use of astringents which will regulate it without inhibiting the natural process. Consult a gynecologist if this continues over a number of months.
Metrorrhagia - where bleeding occurs in the middle of a cycle or at any unexpected time. Again it is important to establish the cause. Also to balance the loss of additional blood, a diet rich in natural iron is essential.
Dysmenorrhea - where the period is accompanied by cramping pain.
Premenstrual Tension -
The Pill - when you stop using the pill, the body ans especially the hormonal balance take a wile to regain their natural harmonic functions. Herbal remedies that act as endocrine balancers and uterine tonis can speed up the process. Here is a recipe for a good tea to help this :
Drink 3 times a day for the first 2 weeks after coming off the pill, 2 times a day for the 3rd week and once a day for the fourth week.
Herbs for Pregnancy and Childbirth By far the best herbs for pregnancy are Red Raspberry Leaf and Squaw Vine. A cup per day should be taken for at least the last 3 months and better for the last 6 months. They ease, aid and tone the uterus for easier childbirth. Threatened miscarriage - occasionally miscarriage is the natural response to certain situations. In such circumstances no herbal remedies will oppose the body's purpose. However miscarriage can also be threatened in cases of inadequate diet, stress or trauma, and then herbs can provide extra strength or vitality to avoid an unnecessary miscarriage :
Morning Sickness -
Milk production - you might find it ifficult to either commence milk production or to maintain a high enough level of production when breastfeeding. Since it is best for the child to be on breast milk for as long as it is feasible, herbs that will help can be invaluable :
If more some reason the milkflow needs to be stopped the most effective herb is Red Sage or if not available, ordinary Garden Sage made into an infusion and drunk 3 times a day until the desired result is obtained.
Herbs to Avoid During Pregnancy
A useful mixture which will help the body to balance and to adapt to the changes, reducing the severity of hot flashes and their frequency quite quickly too, should be taken for a few months until all symptoms are gone and the change is completed :
Also :
The whole reproductive system is at least open to infections as any other part of the body and because it opens to the outside world it also has distinct problems due to infections through contact. Discharges of mucus are a common response to infections, or are due to the body's effort to get rid of excessive mucus accumulating elsewhere in the body. To truly heal an infection of the vagina or any other part of the system, remedies must be used that aid and clear the whole body. Douches and /or any other local applications will generally only get rid of the symptoms for a while. An appropriate treatment for vaginal infections involves the use of anti-microbials, in association with herbs that clear the lymphatics, usually alteratives. To aid the healing of infected tissue, astringents will usually be indicated, especially where there is mucus discharge. Also take into account your general state of health. Often a recent use of the pill or withdrawal from it will effect the balance of the vaginal secretions. A good internal mixture would include :
The tea should be drunk 3 times daily. It can also be used a s a douche, made in the same way as an infusion and also used 3 times a day. Natural, unsweetened yogurt can be used both internally and externally; it establishes natural bacterial flora, especially after using antibiotics. Adding acidophilus capsules, fresh garlic or capsules and Vitamin C to your diet will also help. Cut down on the amount of sugar and carbohydrates you ingest as this can lead to yeast infections.
