Reproductive System Support
The male and female reproductive systems share many physiological similarities, and both male and female patients require the full range of reproductive hormones for proper function. A holistic approach to reproductive health is to first and foremost support the optimum health of the patient. Because of its close ties to the endocrine and neuroendocrine systems, ensuring reproductive health requires addressing any underlying imbalances in these networks.
The botanical medicine toolbox is rich with agents that have the capacity to enhance estrogenic and/or androgenic activity in the body safely and effectively while also improving the body’s natural production and utilization of hormones that are essential to fertility. These include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, prolactin, thyroid hormones, etc. Our goal is to achieve optimum hormone levels by supporting the glands and structures that manufacture and utilize them, thereby enhancing fertility and the chance of conception.
