Erica Saw has been writing articles for nearly 3 years. Her interest is in helping woman getting pregnancy with herbs. So come visit her website that discusses about Getting Pregnant and pregnancy guide such as Pregnancy Guidance.
Pregnancy Option - Radix Glycyrrhiza or in Chinese pronouns it as ‘GANCAO’ is the dried root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fishch., Glycyrrhiza inflata Bat. or Glycyrrhiza glabra L. The drug is collected in spring and autumn, removed from rootlet, dried in the sun.
The woody rootstock is wrinkled and brown on the outside, yellow on the inside, and tastes sweet. The stem, which is round on the lower part and angular higher up, bears alternate, odd-pinnate leaves with 3-7 pairs of ovate, dark green leaflets. Axillary racemes of yellowish or purplish 3-foot-long spikes of flowers appear from June to August, depending on location.
It has been proven thousand of years by the Chinese to use ‘GANCAO’ to strengthen body immune system and reinforce the function of the spleen and replenish qi, removing heat and counteract toxicity, to dispel phlegm and relieve cough, to alleviate spasmodic pain, and to moderate drug actions. It also strengthens woman body and ovaries preparing for pregnancy.
Also I would recommend doing acupuncture on woman seeking higher chance of pregnancy rate in patients who undergo assisted reproduction therapy
The origin of ‘GANCAO’ is from China, where you can get it from Mongolia, Shanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang.
