Fertility Boosting Foods!

June 9, 2017 by Christina Martin

Fertility Boosting Foods!

At Tao to Wellness we’ve mastered the science behind baby making through acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and nutritional support. Foods have properties just like herbal medicine.  When a patient eats certain foods at certain times of their cycle, there is an impact… sometimes positive and sometimes negative.  Since we want to give patients the best case scenario when they are under our care, we compiled a list of what foods support the two main phases of the cycle.  Below you’ll find foods broken down into Follicular, which is from the end of the period until ovulation, this is a building phase for the lining and the nourishing phase of Yin.  And Luteal, which is from ovulation until the period happens.  The temperature warms, there can be a possibility of implantation and this is a time of Yang.  An * is a food that is extremely strong and highly recommended for this time of the cycle.
