This is an extremely thorough book that goes far beyond what I expected. There’s detailed information about every element of fertility for both partners and information about everything that can affect it. It doesn’t just cover herbs but many other natural ways to increase chances of pregnancy. Herbs are suggested for both partners to increase fertility but also for things like stress.

The only note I would add is that when she goes into the benefits of things like cinnamon, she doesn’t caution about heavy metal contamination. I took cinnamon daily in my morning drink because it is so good for several health conditions I have but last year Consumer Reports tested many cinnamon samples and found dangerous levels of lead in many brands, including the organic one I used from Costco. Since I was taking a half teaspoon a day (about the amount she recommends here too), I was taking double the limit of safe lead levels. I have since found a new source that has very low levels and third party testing that they will send you (Mountain Rose Herbs, whom I’ve loved and trusted for years), but it’s something to be aware of. Consumer Reports also tested many other herbs and spices and found high heavy metal contamination in many others too, incidentally. You can read their report free online. It’s a good reminder that if you don’t grow or gather all of your herbs, to be sure you’re taking safe ones.

That said, this book is an excellent resource that I highly recommend.
