Pregnancy and Fertility Over 40 With Herbs
Much has been written about how herbs can help fertility for both men and women. However, not all herbs are helpful, and some can hurt.
Some herbs like St. Johns Wort, Echinacea, and Gingko Biloba may actually hurt fertility. One of the reasons I didnt go the "herbal route" (aside from some herbal teas) when trying to conceive is just because herbs are "natural", it doesnt always mean theyre safe. I have a friend who wound up in the ER with an irregular heartbeat after taking herbs (this wasnt someone trying to conceive) - but it just goes to show you that you have to be careful.

"some herbal remedies may also be expected to interfere with normal reproductive function. This expectation prompted researchers at Loma Linda University School of Medicine in Loma Linda, Calif., to explore the effects of four popular herbs on eggs and sperm. Their findings were published in the current issue of Fertility and Sterility, the journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Three of the herbs, St. Johns wort, Echinacea purpura and Ginkgo biloba, had ill effects on either eggs or sperm or both. The damage, the researchers said, included a reduced ability of sperm to penetrate an egg, changes to the genetic material in sperm, poor sperm viability and, in the case of St. Johns wort, mutation of the tumor suppressor gene, BRCA1, a change that can increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers in women who inherit the mutated gene.
Of the herbs tested, only saw palmetto, which is commonly taken by men to relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, did not damage eggs or sperm in the doses tested. But even saw palmetto reduced the viability of sperm that were exposed to the herbal preparation for seven days.
The journals editor, Dr. Alan H. DeCherney, said, This is a very important study that could provide important information to patients suffering from infertility. He added, The growing popularity of these herbal products means we must examine all their possible effects.
