Preconception Care

Q: Does herbal medicine really help with preparing for pregnancy, or is it just an unfounded belief?

Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective The Chaksang-tang (implantation decoction) prescribed at Dongjedang is formulated to improve endometrial thickness and increase blood flow. Domestic and international studies have reported that blood-nourishing herbs such as Danggui (Angelica) and Sukjihwang (prepared Rehmannia) are involved in promoting estrogen secretion and endometrial growth. That said, herbal medicine is not a stand-alone treatment. Its synergy is maximized when combined with standard pregnancy preparation such as taking folic acid (400-800 mcg), managing weight, and controlling underlying conditions. It is also widely used to improve the implantation environment for those planning IVF or artificial insemination.
