Red Raspberry Tea and other Herbal Treatments for Infertility

On 02.18.10, In Alternative, By Stevie Wonder

The fertility industry is a huge billion-dollar industry. They have a lot at stake. That’s why you never hear them talking about the merits of herbal treatments for infertility. It’s as if the alternative medicine is a snake oil branch of the medicine that does not work at all. However, if the real statistics on the effectiveness of their drugs and procedure were to leak out, they will be most likely out of business the very next day.

It’s not the fault of the modern medical industry alone for the widespread ignorance about the available natural remedies for infertility. Mostly, it’s because our society is so commercialized that taking a full-page ad on any newspaper is cost prohibitive for most alternative medicine practitioner. Bare in mind that you can’t patent a herb and you can’t stop others from using the same remedy so there’s no financial incentive for commercial interests to educate the masses. Another reason is because most people don’t have any fertility problem at all so it’s not not going to be cost effective to advertise on any newspaper or TV (Thank god for the Internet though).

Because of the lack of information available for couples who are having a hard time conceiving a baby. Most couples would usually consult their doctor as their only source of information and treatment. The doctor will then prescribe a range of medicine (one after another for each failures) and then refer you to the specialist if he/she can’t produce the results you’re looking for. The same thing will happen with the specialist and they will refer you to the IVF and/or IUI treatment, which cost a fortune.

All is well if the IVF and IUI can help a couple conceive a baby. But the truth is that only 18% of all couples ever successfully conceive a baby using these costly treatments. Why is it that the IVF and IUI industry is claiming a 50% success rate? Surely, they can’t be lying? They’re not exactly lying but they just conveniently forgot to include a tiny little fact in it reports, that 50% success rate is for couples with the highest chance of success.

Most couples don’t even face a decent chance in getting conceived using IVF and IUI. They would be better off going on alternative medicine like herbs. For example, red raspberry tea has been used as a herbal infertility treatment for a long time in China. Many people content that is it wasn’t effective the treatment won’t last for so long, you’ll have to make up your own mind whether its worth a shot. The added bonus with these herbal remedies for infertility is that it doesn’t have side effects, and they are available for very little financial investment.

Different Types Of Natural Sleep Aids

On 11.06.09, In Alternative, Health, By Barney

When you are not sleeping as well as you think you should be, there usually is no way but to figure out the reason for this. When you locate the cause behind your problem you will be able to treat it for good. Finding the cause can take quite a while, and if you have been sleeping badly for weeks now, and you want to get some fast help, then using a natural sleep aid might be something that you could look in to.

Remember that when we are talking about sleep aids, it is not always about eating pills, or taking capsules, but instead there are many natural ways that you can use to fall asleep faster, and sleep better. Usually they can be techniques that are meant to get you relaxed, or that will improve your sleep just a little.

One popular natural sleep aid is to have a warm bath before you go to bed. Many people do this because of the relaxing effect it has on our muscles – if you feel that the reason why you are not sleeping well, is because you have tense muscles, then this might very well work for you. You will have to remember not to make the bat too hot and not stay there too long because when you are in hot water for a long time there is a chance that the chlorine they use to clean the water, starts to have an effect on your skin and could even eventually cause cancer. Also when you are in a hot place for a long time you will start to get more awake because your body senses that it is in a danger as the body temperature is constantly rising, hence it will start working on lowering that temperature.

If you are too hot when you are trying to sleep, you are most likely not going to be able to fall asleep when you want to. This brings us to a way of improving your sleep quality, and a definite natural sleep aid. By dropping your bed room temperature by a few degrees when compared to the average temperature that you have in your house, you are going to sleep better. By improving your sleep quality you are not going to need that much sleep to be able to get that same rejuvenating effect that a long good nights sleep has.

Using herbal remedies to help you sleep better is becoming more popular as the researchers are finding more promising herbs. The most popular herb that is used for sleeping problems is definitely Valerian, which is also used to help people with panic attacks, anxiety and even depression. The reason why it works for all these is that it has a soothing effect, and when you are not getting enough sleep, you will have to learn how to relax yourself better.

Meditation techniques have been shown to have great positive effects on the ability to fall asleep when wanted. This is why you should look in to basic meditation also, since this could be used as a long term aid – sometimes we just can not change our lifestyles, and that is why we need to do what is possible to help us live like we want to.
