Understanding Natural Fertility & Homeopathy

Positive Pregnancy Test

There is no denying that the art of consciously creating a child is a sacred act. It goes beyond religions and dogmas, and some may argue that it boils down to simple evolution. Either way you want to spin it, the act, when done with intention and heart is sacred, and miraculous. One sperm and one egg combines to create life! Where I don't call on a particular dogma, I do fully recognize, and respectfully acknowledge the magic and divinity in this process. Let's, for a moment though, look at the natural physiology of fertility on timeline.

Our bodies are designed to have babies in our late teens and through to our mid 40s. Don't get your pitchforks out yet older parents (I am one too!), but hear me out. I want you to think about how young humans were having children 200 years ago. In 1825 the average woman was having their first child at 23 years of age, and that is an average. In 1725, it is estimated that the average age was 20 years old. I am by no means advocating for having children too young, or before a woman is ready, but what I am looking at is simple science when it comes to fertility. The quality of mens sperm peaks between the age of 20-30 years old, which is the peak age for a woman's fertility as well.

Take note that the average age of a girls first menarche is 12, and it is around this time in a girls life (and more like 12-13 for boys) the interest in the opposite sex begins to awaken. It is by no means time for exploration at this tender age, but it would be ridiculous to ignore the natural progression of the awakening of hormones. Thus we move into the teen years, where the desire and interest only heightens, and for most parents the worry of whether or not that desire might be executed is real. Seeing this as a healthy development of reproduction and fertility, rather than shaming them for feeling what is biologically natural seems more logical. As a mom of two teenage boys, this is a time to have open discussions about important points around this topic, but that is a blogpost for another time.

Nurturing the body to prepare the body for both a healthy egg and strong sperm is important for the evolution of the conception process. Through a homeopathic lens we look at all aspects of both the man and woman. We look at the mental, emotional, and physical health, along with the understanding of the natural flow of hormones during the reproductive years. An example of this would be understanding that it is more difficult to treat reproductive issues when men and women are in their 40s, because that is when fertility naturally declines in most people.

Most women in their peak reproductive years need a fair amount of body fat to help balance their hormones. Men need lots of testosterone boosting exercise (think chopping wood). Both men and women need a lot of healthy fats, whole foods, little to no allopathic medications if it can be helped, proper sleep (in bed by 10pm), and little to no alcohol, zero drugs or tobacco. Orgasms for the woman is also extremely helpful in not only creating a positive mindset around sex (orgasms only happen when a woman is relaxed, she feels safe and cared for), but also creates a positive environment for sperm if done around ovulation.

Fertility is sacred. Period. It needs to be protected and honored as such. Learning natural family planing methods, and cycle tracking is so important in understanding the flow of a woman's body, and the overall reproductive health. Homeopathy can play a huge role in helping the body to detox from years of birth control, as well as help with the overall balancing of hormones in both men and women. Remedies like Sepia, Borax, and homeopathic progesterone can help women find their footing in a world that tends to fight against fertility with xenoestrogens, and birth control. We can do this though! We can help to raise the declining levels of fertility in this world, one remedy at a time.
