I recently learned through the Envivironmental Working Group that, “only 11 percent of 10,500 ingredients in beauty products have been tested for safety.” That means that one in thirteen women are exposed on a daily basis to products that are know or are probably carcinogens. These toxins can harm the reproductive system. The article said that most women will come into contact with one hundred chemicals before breakfast.

It would be wise for all of us to check out what we are putting on our bodies. Just think that you may be rubbing toxings into your breast, face, legs, arms, etc. No wonder many women are having a difficult time conceiving. It may not be the blame for your infertility, but it is worth taking the time to read and understand the products you are using. This is good advice for everyone, not just women.

I suggest reading Gorgeiously Green. By: Sophie ULiano This is where I learned about all the toxins and it could help you improve your life.

I see women who do not have enough endometrial lining. Without enought lining the embryo cannont implanti. Often I find that their body is usually very hot or very cold. Either can contribute to not making enough lining or the lining being thicker than it should be for implantation.

What is wonderful about nature is that each month a women can see changes if she makes changes in her diet, and if more is needed Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can be used. It is amazing to see how fast the body can change, and how much it changes from month to month.

By keeping a basal body temperature chart you can actually see if your body is hot, cold or normal.
What is neat, is when you keep the chart, you can watch your temperatures change, and with that you will see monthly cycle changes.

Feel free to email your chart to me if you would like to know more about it.
