Support the Health of the Uterus with Womb Warming Herbs

Elizabeth Willett - M.A., Certified Herbalist
July 22, 2021
Reviewed by Christine Traxler, MD

A warm womb is one receiving adequate circulation (blood flow) to support its function – to create a healthy uterine lining for implantation of an embryo and regular menstruation.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that in warming the uterus, healthy progesterone levels (progesterone is a warming hormone) can be maintained to promote a healthy endometrial lining.

“This (a warm uterus) not only helps metabolic activity, but also allows the uterus to secrete sufficient nutrients, and thereby creates a highly nurturing environment…” according to Dr. Lin Zhou, O.M.D., L.AC. FABORM

How to Warm the Uterus

There are a variety of warming herbs; many are common kitchen spices, to consider adding to your daily routine. The herbs can be added to beverages and foods or made into a medicinal bath. These herbs increase circulation for healthier blood flow, rev up the metabolism and create heat within the body.

Warming Herbs

Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum spp.) – a heating stimulant commonly used for absent or painful, even heavy menstruation due to cold (TCM), or abnormal menstrual clotting, swelling, and if you have cold hands and feet.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) – is a warming circulatory stimulant for chronic pelvic pain and painful ovulation, indigestion, nausea and morning sickness.

-or-

Blend Your Own Uterus Strengthening Tea and add cinnamon bark

Additional herbs to consider…

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) – a warming spasmolytic for flatulence, colic, indigestion, and diarrhea, which can accompany PMS.

Cardamom seed (Elettaria cardamomum) – a stimulating, warming seed traditionally used for low libido and threatened miscarriage.

Garlic (Allium sativum) – a circulatory stimulant and anti-microbial often used for infections without marked inflammation, indigestion, for viral infections, and for boosting the immune system.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) – this warming alternative protects the liver and is anti-inflammatory. Turmeric is also used for painful menstruation or lack of menstruation due to blood stagnation, as well as swelling.

Learn how to blend your own Turmeric tea, Chai, Fertility Smoothie or Turmeric Milk here…

The above herbs and spices can be added to curries, baked goods, sprinkled on a mixture of nuts and seeds, or garbanzo beans, and roasted for a protein-packed snack, added to steel-cut oatmeal with walnuts and a drizzle of coconut milk… the options are endless. Adding a bit of cardamom and cinnamon to your daily smoothie is a good idea as well.

A Warm Uterus is a Happy Uterus!

A uterus receiving adequate circulation is more likely to be healthier overall. I hope you enjoy creating recipes with the above herbs, always keeping your uterine health in mind.

May your womb be warm!

🥚 In the past, a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age. 

Based on new studies, we now know that this may not be true. 🤯

There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

In addition, having healthy fertility is based on many additional aspects to consider, including:
➡️ Proper circulation
➡️ A healthy fertility cycle
➡️ Balanced hormones
➡️ Healthy eggs

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. 

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an egg’s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. ⏳

This journey takes about 90 days. 

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 months from now. 

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI. 

🙂 The good news is that there are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs. There is too much info to put into this tiny caption but….

Type EGG if you would like me to send you my Egg Health Checklist that takes you through all of the steps to take.👇👇

💚I do think FeriliGreens is some of the best tasting greens powder out there, but here are to some tips to make taking your daily dose tastier… especially if you are new to taking the :

✅ Mix FertiliGreens into your fertility smoothie
✅ Mix with 8 oz of water and add a little juice for taste
✅ Mix with water and some chocolate stevia drops
✅ Mix with water and some cocoa powder and vanilla stevia drops
