Conceptions Tea: Gentle & Effective Female Fertility Support

Reviewed by Christine Traxler, MD

Are you looking for gentle, complete female fertility support? Are you desiring to support your body in the best way as you prepare for conception? Conceptions Tea may be one of the best ways to support female fertility and prepare for pregnancy! Teas provide an excellent way for your body to receive the medicinal benefits of dried plant parts. Steeping the tea plant parts in almost boiling water extracts the medicinal properties of the plants, which enables your body to absorb vital nutrients and utilize 100% of the medicinal actions. Teas are also easier to digest than capsules or whole plant parts. Because Conception Tea is liquid, it also helps to hydrate your body, while promoting gentle cleansing.

Conceptions Tea contains a blend of herbs specific to the female reproductive system. This tea blend works to normalize and tone the reproductive organs, cleanse and clear congestion of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, while promoting hormonal balance. Conceptions Tea is part of our popular Fertility Cleanse, but it may also be continued, or used alone for up to 6 months in preparation conception, or as part of your Natural Fertility healing plan.

Beneficial Action of the Herbs in Conceptions Tea

Damiana (Turnera diffusa)- This herb has been used for centuries as an herbal aphrodisiac; Damiana helps to increase circulation and blood supply to the uterus and vagina in order to oxygenate cells in the region and boost libido. Damiana is an effective option for women who find they need support with increasing their sex drive!

Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus)- An herb that supplies high levels of iron and other minerals to the uterus, it can help to build a nourishing uterine lining that is ready for conception. Raspberry leaf works to tone the uterine muscles and normalize blood flow during menses. This is one of the best normalizing herbs for the female reproductive organs. Its high nutritional content is a valuable tool for women preparing for pregnancy.

Skullcap (Scutellaria laterifolia)- A wonderful stress reliever that helps to calm the chaos in the body and keep all systems working properly. Skullcap is a wonderful support herb for curbing the blues, irritability and anxiety, or other PMS mood-related symptoms.

Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)- a wonderful hormone balancer, licorice root helps to maintain proper hormone production and release to enhance the chances of conception. Licorice may also work to support proper adrenal gland function. Proper adrenal gland function is necessary for hormonal balance. Licorice Rt. also helps to add a nice flavor to this tea blend.

Ho-Shou-Wu (Also known as FoTi, Polygonum multiflorum)- An age-old fertility tonic used by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. This plant works to strengthen the entire reproductive system.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)- An Ayurvedic fertility tonic that is used to nourish the ovaries and uterus. Ashwagandha is also nourishing and balancing to the thyroid, an important component of the endocrine system. Ashwagandha is also an effective tool for combating depression, aiding in healthy stress management.

Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis)- A wonderful reproductive toner which increases circulation to the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. This is one of the best herbs for supporting uterine health. Dong Quai is an effective aid for regulating hormonal control; promoting a healthy menstrual cycle.

Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa) – An herb known for its ability to aid in regulation of the entire menstrual cycle (from amenorrhea to dysmenorrhea), to relax the uterus aiding in occasional reproductive system discomfort and to aid in healthy uterine tone.

Burdock Root (Cimicifuga racemosa)- A great detoxifying cleanser that helps to rid the liver of excess hormones and toxins that can inhibit a pregnancy. Proper liver function is essential to proper hormonal balance!

Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa)- Helps to promote normal hormone levels and overall balance within the reproductive system. Wild Yam may also help the uterus to work more efficiently during menses. This uterine support allows for proper function of the uterus while working to prevent uterine cramping or spasm.

Yellow Dock (Rumex crispis)- Used for centuries to cleanse the blood and clean the liver of toxins and excess hormones. Yellow dock is high in iron, aiding in maintaining proper iron levels; essential for energy and blood formation.

Ginger (Zingiber officianalis)- A wonderful herb used to increase circulation and promote blood flow to the uterus. The increased circulation also helps to reduce inflammation of the uterus, ovaries or fallopian tubes. Ginger aids in healthy digestion, which is very important when preparing for conception.

Sarsaparilla (Smilax medica)- Supports healthy hormone production, especially testosterone and progesterone production. This herb also tastes wonderful; it was the original flavoring for root beer!

Stevia for flavor.

You can see how these each of these herbs individual medicinal action supports female fertility in a variety of ways. Consuming them in a tea blend allows for multiple medicinal actions to blend together to create multiple benefits.

How to Prepare Conceptions Tea Properly

Conceptions Tea is a loose-leaf tea, meaning it does not come in individual tea bags. In order to make this tea, you will need some kind of tea tool, such as: fine mesh strainer, your own tea bags cloth or muslin, a stainless-steel tea ball or a tea French press.

1. Stir up the Conceptions Tea, during shipping it may have settled. You are going to want to get a variety of each of the herbs each time you make it.

2. For 1 cup of Conceptions Tea, place a 1-2 tsp. of dried herbs in a tea cup (mug). For 2-3 cups of Conceptions Tea, put 3-4 heaping tsp of dried herbs in a glass canning jar.

3. Pour boiling water over the herbs, cover with a small plate for 1 cup method, or cap tightly if making in a glass canning jar. Let steep for a minimum of 30 minutes. Capping tightly insures you will not let any of the medicinal qualities of the herbs evaporate; this is especially important for the volatile oils contained in many of the plants. Because this tea is a mixture of bark (hard parts) and leaves, it needs to be steeped for the required time or longer to extract the medicinal properties of the hard bark parts. For 1 cup of Conceptions Tea, steep for 15 minutes. For a quart, steep for 30 minutes to 3 hours.

Conceptions Tea should only be consumed consistently for up to 6 months. Do not use this tea during pregnancy.

Helpful Tips

  • Make a larger batch, strain it, and put it in the refrigerator. That way you have 3 cups for the entire day made in advance.
  • Some women have never tried herbal teas and find the taste of Conceptions Tea can be different than other flavors they are used to. If you find you are one of those women, try drinking the tea cold. Add lemon, a bit of hibiscus flower, or cherry juice for flavor.
  • Do not steep the tea for more than 3-4 hours. Steep for less time for a milder flavor.
  • Strain the tea well in a fine mesh strainer or use a bag to reduce plant part sediment.

Conceptions Tea is one of the best fertility aids, whether you are preparing for conception, wanting to support healthy reproductive function, or desiring to aid your body in healing a pre-existing fertility issue. This tea is gentle, yet very effective and balancing overall. Conceptions Tea is a supportive, nourishing fertility tonic and would be a good addition for any woman looking to boost her fertility!

As an herbalist, I feel that consuming herbs through a medicinal infusion (tea) is a safe, effective way to nourish the body systems. The medicinal action of the herbs in Conceptions Tea is readily available to the body for absorption, and is digested and utilized easily. Have you supported your fertility in a healthy way today? Conceptions Tea may be a great way to do that!

Two things are clear about phthalates and your fertility health: One, they are everywhere, and two, they are controversial! Particularly controversial is the link between phthalates and fibroids.
​
​Phthalates are a group of chemicals that are found in many everyday modern products. They’re found in floor and wall coverings, certain detergents, plastic food packaging, pharmaceuticals, lubricating oils, and personal care products like shampoos, soaps, hairspray, perfumes, and fragrant health products. Phthalates are even found in many of the plastic water bottles you might be drinking out of every day.
​
​If you are as concerned about these chemicals in our everyday lives as I am, see our Ditch & Switch Guide so you can start getting those chemicals out of your home. You can find it by clicking on our Bio.

To make an impact on your health, you will need to first learn the actions and steps to take... then you will need to be consistent with those actions. It is the consistency that brings you the results. You are going to be human and not be perfect 100% of the time. Just accept that and get back to it. Consistency, day in and out, is more important than being perfect. You can't be 100% perfect for long, but you can be consistent every day.
