My patient came to me with two Chinese herbs which she learned and purchased on Amazon. She has been using them for a while. I was shocked to learn many people believe the herbs can help them get pregnancy as they have side effects which can stop their pregnancy. Therefore, I put Chinese herbalist Comments: be careful of this two herbs. They have to be prescribed by NCCAOM certified herbalists or Chinese Medicine herbalist. These two herbs shall be used with Certain Syndrome per Chinese Medicine. And they are not used as single herbs as herbs can have side effects. Both of the above herbs Yi Mu Cao and Xi Xi Cao can cause miscarriage if lady is in her early pregnancy. Also if person has too much menstrual or blood clotting issue shall be careful. People with fertility issue better to seek professional help because it is really complicated. Regarding to herbalists, go to seek help from doctors graduated from China. Cost is far far less compared with IVF/IUI.
