Episode #3: The Herbs Got You Pregnant

Are you trying to conceive – or sitting with cycles that feel out of sync, confusing, or just… not you?
What if part of the support you’re seeking has always been close by – rooted in tradition, brewed in a teacup, and guided by careful practice?
In Episode #3 of Midwives & Milktea, we explore how herbal allies – like vitex (chasteberry), red clover, and maca – may play a supportive role in the wider fertility journey, alongside rest, nourishment, stress regulation, and clinical care. You’ll hear how different traditions (Ayurveda, TCM, Western herbalism) personalize support, what current research does – and doesn’t – say, and the safety boundaries every listener should know (including herbs to avoid or use only with guidance).
This isn’t about miracle fixes. It’s about informed, holistic care that respects your body’s rhythm and centers your wellbeing through preconception, pregnancy, and beyond.
If you’ve wondered where plants might fit – ethically, safely, and evidence-informed – this conversation is for you.
