As we mentioned in the previous article, infertility is defined as a couple's inability to get pregnant after 12 months of unprotected sex. It affects more than 5 million couples in the U. S. and more worldwide. Due to unknown treatment, only 10% seek professional help. We have spent most of this time discussing conventional and Chinese medicine for fertility treatment. I believe it's a good time to change the subject by discussing how to treat female infertility with Chinese herbs: bupleurum.
I. Definition
Bupleurum is also known as Bei Chai Hu. They are a very large plant genus and they belong to the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years in treating infections, and fever and liver problems.
II. How bupleurum affects women's fertility
1. Liver qi stagnation
The herb is said to have the effect of liver tonic which helps to relieve the qi stagnation of the liver from the accumulated toxins in the body, leading to liver abnormalities in regulating spleen function in insulin production. This causes hormone imbalance and irregular menstrual cycles. Also, sluggish liver reduces this function in essential fatty acid metabolism, leading to the production of certain hormones in the prostaglandin family. This results in cramps and menstrual cramps, and an overactive uterus that provides fertility opportunities.
2. Kidney
Not only does it help improve kidney function in urine intake, but it also regulates this function in controlling steroid growth hormone, which leads to hormone balance and reduces the risk of irregular menstrual cycles.
3. Kidney dysfunction
It is considered as a cold for cold herbs, so it helps to produce more qi which impedes normal egg production process and increases the risk of irregular menstrual cycles.
4. The immune system
Bupleurum is also a tonic of immune function with cold to the cold. In addition to helping the immune system fight bacterial and viral attacks, it also helps the immune system to recognize that sperm are part of body tissue and not attack them. It works well if the infection is caused by abnormal immune function in the yin qi deficiency.
5. Spleen function
It also has an effect on the function of the spleen in the production of insulin which helps reduce the risk of insulin fluctuations, causing the production of certain hormones (such as serotonin) and disrupting hormone production (progesterone), thus increasing the chances of fertility.
6. Blood flow
It is said that bupleurum helps reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, so it not only helps improve heart function, but also improves blood flow to reproductive organs, thus reducing the risk of infertility
III. Side effect
It can cause
1. Nausea
3. reflux
4. Improve bowel movement
In case of overdose.
