Infertility Home Remedies - Two Simple Steps

Infertility Home Remedies

Following these two simple steps will increase your chances of getting pregnant quickly.

• Identify the emotional blockage.
• Eliminate the blockage.

So what sort of blockages are we talking about? They can be just about anything. Blockages are very individual. No two people are going to have exactly the same blockage. And you are unlikely to "guess" your own blockage using rational thinking. Most people are extremely surprised once they use the techniques and uncover what their blockage is.

Female Infertility Causes - Beliefs

Female Infertility Causes

Our self-beliefs (or internal programming) determine our conscious behavior. Anyone who has tried to give up smoking or lose weight using willpower alone will attest to the strength of these self-beliefs. We have thousands of these subconscious self-beliefs that govern all areas of our lives.

Where do self-beliefs come from? Mostly they develop in us at a very young age. It's interesting to note that, unlike adults, children spend the majority of their waking time in the alpha region. Most of our adult behaviors are based on "programming" we picked up before the age of 5 or 6. But then as we get older we lose the ability to stay in the alpha state, mainstream education sees to that.

Yoga For Infertility

Meditation and yoga are ancient Indian philosophies that enhance personal growth and well-being. It is also a big part of Ayurveda infertility treatment.
 
Although it is a systemic philosophical approach, yoga (and meditation) is not a religion, but complementary with most spiritual paths. The physical aspect of yoga - or hatha yoga - uses poses and focused breathing, requiring concentration and discipline.

Vitamins For Infertility

Women may want to consider these supplements and vitamins:

• Iron (10-20 mg/day): Anemia can lead to infertility. Women who bleed profusely may be anemic, those who rarely bleed may in fact be either anemic or too high in iron.
• Vitamin C (500-1500 rag/day): This powerful anti-oxidant helps to protect cells and strengthen the immune system.
• Vitamin E (400-800 i.u, per day): Vitamin E may increase egg quality. In a preliminary human trial, infertile couples given vitamin E (200 IU per day for the female and 100 IU per day for the male) showed a significant increase in fertility.
