Traditional and natural based medicine approaches can give you insights into more nuanced elements of your fertility that modern medicine does not typically address. Each person is unique, and each life experience creates an individual body pattern of symptoms and subtleties that can influence your overall heath and fertility potential.

How Long Will It Take?
We treat each of the four stages of the menstrual cycle differently; moving blood and stagnation during the period, nourishing lining and follicles before ovulation, boosting ovulation, and supporting implantation post ovulation. With each cycle we aim to see healthy, positive changes in your symptoms. Anticipate three to four menstrual cycles as a general treatment plan. Follicles take 90 days to mature, so any changes you begin will have full benefit after this time frame.
