some time to wind down each night before bed.
Instead of screens, read a book or enjoy lavender tea to help fall asleep and rest soundly.
nutrients
Our soils contain less minerals and nutrients
than they did a generation ago. Food-based
prenatal vitamins, like New Chapter (Certified
Non-GMO & Organic) & RainbowLight, can
help provide the nutrition your body will need
to create and sustain a pregnancy.
teas
You can make your own tea with the recipe
below, or purchase a pre-made organic fertility

essential oils
Organic plant oils take just 26 seconds to reach
your bloodstream. Clary Sage & Frankincense
essential oils are both helpful in balancing
hormones. These oils have also been helpful for
relieving fibroids, cysts and other cervical issues. Apply to the bottoms of your feet or over
your pelvic area. Always use high quality oils.

yoga & chiropractic
Restorative yoga reduces stress and helps to
oxygenate the body. Plus it leads to overall
relaxation, which is important when trying to
conceive. There are also several postures to
help balance hormones. And don’t overlook
the benefits of seeing a holistic chiropractor.
Nerves pass from the spine and pelvis on their
way to the reproductive organs and lack of
movement of joints of the spine or pelvis can
lead to fertility or hormonal roadblocks.
more water, less caffeine
High quantities of caffeine have been linked to
decreased fertility. For every 100 mg of caffeine
you consume (i.e. the approximate amount in
one cup of coffee or two cups of black tea) be
sure to drink an additional cup of water to offset the diuretic effect of the caffeine.
vaginal health
You may not think of it, but the environment
of your vagina is very important in the babymaking process. If the environment is hostile to
sperm, your chances of conception can decrease drastically.
