Truth About Herbal Remedies

Herbs & Conception

Though the medical rationale is unclear, many experts believe some herbal products may temporarily reduce fertility in both men and women, so it's best that you and your partner avoid them if you're trying to conceive. These include St. John's wort (used for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems), echinacea (used to ward off and treat colds), and ginkgo (used for premenstrual syndrome, allergies, and sleep problems).
