Herbs for Fertility & Women’s Health
Suzanne Husami specializes in herbal therapies for women’s health. She became a fellow of the American Board of Oriental and Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) in order to better address the needs of her unique patients.
Fertility Herbs
People often seek out 'fertility herbs' but the truth is that there is no single herb or set group of herbs that acts as a panacea for fertility. That’s why it’s so important to see a specialist - and receive the best formulas tailored to your unique reproductive environment. Rather than using a single herb to treat an issue, Chinese herbal therapy combines several herbs together tailored to your body’s needs in what is referred to as a formula to address a constellation of symptoms. These herbs, when used together, all act harmoniously to balance the root cause of your issue. Herbal formulas may provide the extra edge your body needs to overcome an issue as complex as subfertility. However there are circumstances where herbal medicine may not be appropriate for care. Suzanne will discuss this with you and will work closely with your Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) or general practitioner to ensure you and are receiving a safe and effective treatment.
Herbs for Women’s Health
Each formula is tailor-made to you and is compatible with most supplements or prescriptions that you may already be taking. Herbs for fertility and menstrual irregularity are particularly helpful as their tailored composition allows Suzanne to modify the formula in order to address changes in your menstrual cycle as they happen. This allows for a more effective treatment overall.
