Herbal Medicine 
There have also been many studies on Herbal Medicine and how it affects Fertility. There are several links at the bottom of this page for you to explore. There are several reasons to consider Herbal Medicine to assist you in reaching your Fertility goals. First,
the TCM Herbal Formulas used at NC Natural Fertility are safe and will be prescribed by a professional. Trying to make your own Diagnosis and Herbal Prescription can be an arduous task for the inexperienced layperson. Our training was more than 1,800 hours
to learn Diagnosis and Prescription techniques to be safe and effective. Second, the
Herbal Prescriptions will work for you on a 24 hour a day basis to reinforce the Acupuncture treatments. This is a great way to maximize the benefits of the Acupuncture and balance the system quicker. It will still usually take several months, but Acupuncture alone could take longer depending on your particular situation.
Third, Herbal Medicine is relatively cheap. A month's supply for most formulas will be
between $15-20. Fertility treatment often requires the use of more than one formula, but most patients don't spend more than $40 a month for Herbal Treatment. Finally,
Herbal Prescriptions work subtly over time and generally have no side-effects like many of the Western pharmaceuticals that are used. It can take longer to get effective results with Herbal Prescriptions, but worth the wait.
