Can herbs optimise your fertility? We speak to Jodie Foreman, a medical herbalist and reflexologist with a keen interest in pregnancy and conception issues. Plants have been used in medicine for centuries. Many countries, including China, embrace holistic approaches to health alongside man-made drugs. Jodie talks about the importance of tailored treatments, with an emphasis on carefully considered herbal assistance. She spent ten years herself trying to conceive – and Jodie’s empathy for those with fertility issues is clear. For her, as well as her patients, a delicate balance of herbs, emotional support, conventional medicine and lifestyle adjustments can work together. And when herbal remedies are used to improve general health, optimal fertility can follow.
