Getting Pregnant and Natural Fertility: Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a natural fertility treatment that has become an increasingly popular option for couples having difficulty getting pregnant. Naturopathy works by alleviating fertility problems by using a holistic approach that aims to improve an individual’s overall health: physical, mental and emotional. As such, naturopathic medicine has been used to treat both female infertility and male infertility in order to improve an individual’s chances of getting pregnant.

 

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a multidimensional health care system that encompasses several areas that seek to improve an individual’s health, including fertility. This is achieved by using natural fertility methods that include the following areas:

The aim of naturopathic medicine is to improve the individual’s overall health by enabling her to heal herself and to improve her resistance to disease, illness and infection. Naturopathy treatment is tailored to suit an individual’s specific needs.

 

The Benefits of Naturopathy Treatment

Naturopathy promotes a healthier lifestyle, which improves mental, emotional and physical health. It has been used to treat a variety of conditions and illnesses such as anxiety, depression, prostate problems and menstrual problems, including PMS.

Specifically, naturopathy treatments encourage a balanced diet that is low in sugar, caffeine and alcohol, and also promotes the consumption of organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. As such, a naturopathy diet reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity. In addition, acidic foods such as tea and red meat are discouraged, while alkaline foods such as peas and milk are encouraged.

Moderate exercise is another central component of naturopathy treatment. Exercises encouraged are those that contain a core element of relaxation, such as yoga and meditation. These exercises have been linked to decreased levels of stress, which reduces the risk of mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression.

 

Naturopathy and Infertility

Naturopathy can help to alleviate fertility problems associated with both male infertility and female infertility by improving overall health through its promotion of a healthy diet, exercise and a positive attitude, all of which are crucial to an individual’s reproductive health, as it improves her chances of getting pregnant.

One manner in which naturopathic treatments help to increase one’s chances of getting pregnant is through their promotion of a healthy, balanced diet. By encouraging a high consumption of minerals such as zinc and vitamins such as Vitamin A, naturopathy alleviates fertility problems, as these minerals and vitamins help to regulate hormones.

In addition, caffeine is discouraged, as it has been linked to infertility. Alcohol consumption in naturopathy is also limited, which can help to treat female infertility, as alcohol affects prolactin levels, which play an important role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Lifestyle changes that are a component of naturopathy also help to improve both male and female fertility. For example, smoking is discouraged. Smoking has been shown to reduce blood flow to the cervix as well as to the cilia (the tiny hair-like structures located at the end of the fallopian tube that direct the egg towards the uterus), both of which can reduce one’s changes of getting pregnant.

Regular exercise promotes healthy weight, which is critical to female fertility, as both being underweight and overweight can lead to female infertility. In fact, a woman needs to maintain 17 to 20% of her body weight in fat in order to ovulate and menstruate regularly, while obesity has been linked to decreased pregnancy rate.

Naturopathy treatment also discourages exposure to toxins, such as glue, paint and aerosol sprays, as well as pesticides, which are often used in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables. Toxins can contribute to both female infertility and male infertility as they affect progesterone and estrogen levels.
