So more and more couples are now turning towards homeopathy and completing their journey by getting conceive.

In Homeocare international, the homeopathic practitioners use a multi level approach to the treatment of infertility, which involves not only the use of homeopathic remedies, but also making recommendations on fertility nutrition, fertility charting, natural health techniques and important life style changes that will increase fertility in both male and female partners.

Homeopathic medicine can effectively address conditions related to infertility like:

1. PCOS, endometriosis, poor uterine tone, fibroids, ovarian cysts, scarred Fallopian tubes
2. Hormonal imbalances like a poor ovarian response leading to anovulatory cycles and short luteal phase, low progesterone, and estrogen dominance
3. Metabolic imbalances like insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, adrenal burn out
4. Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, and poor sperm morphology
5. History of recurrent miscarriages, preterm births and still-births

Treatment:

We at Homeocare International study each infertility couple in detail clinically and homeopathically and prescribe advanced constitutional medicines according to their individual genetic constitution.

Constitutional approach is an advanced method of homeopathic treatment for most of the so called incurable cases like infertility, hormone problems like thyroid problems, diabetes etc. And arthritis, autoimmune disorders; in brief-"Homeopathic approach is holistic as well as individualistic; holistic in the sense that the medicine is selected for the patients as a whole, but not for individual diseased organs/parts; individualistic from the viewpoint that each individual patient is considered different from others, although all are suffering from the same disease."
