Preconception Care

Naturopathic Preconception Care aims to optimise the health of both parents were possible before they decide to conceive. Preconception care is designed to ensure adequate supply of all nutritional factors which are essential to form healthy sperm and ova. It is also designed to ensure an absence of those factors which are known to compromise general health or may be harmful to foetal development.  Optimal preconception health care begins at least four months prior to your intended conception to ensure the health of your sperm and ova.

Infertility

A number of approaches may be utilised to deal with a case of infertility by a naturopath, including:

Dietary advice – This would typically focus on a balanced diet with intake of a selection of vitamins and minerals specifically linked to healthy fertility.

Herbal medicine – Herbal remedies are useful in restoring hormonal imbalances and increasing fertility.

Lifestyle factors – A range of lifestyle changes would be recommended. This could include simple changes e.g. an increase in exercise, or a reduction of chemical use in the home.
