Chinese herbs can be very helpful in balancing women’s body basal temperatures (BBT) and cervical fluid (CF) patterns. This three-hour course teaches practitioners how to instruct female patients to chart their fertility signals and interpret their BBT’s and cervical fluid according to Western hormonal and Chinese medical differential perspectives to either prevent or enhance conception.
Dagmar Ehling draws from 20 years clinical experience to discuss ways to treat eight different abnormal BBT chart manifestations using Chinese herbal formulas (and their modifications). Lastly, a couple of case histories demonstrate how herbal formulas have been used successfully to treat infertility patients that had abnormal BBT’s and CF patterns.
