| Abstract | ||
| Background and Objective: Female fertility represents a significant global challenge, influenced by numerous factors including hormonal imbalances, environmental stressors, and lifestyle choices. These factors impact both physical and mental health and have significant social and economic implications. Consequently, there is an urgent need for effective and natural approaches to identify safe and efficacious treatments. The objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive review and analyze the efficacy of herbal therapies in enhancing female fertility. Methods: A thorough search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases was conducted for English-language studies using MeSH terms such as women's fertility, herbal medicine, reproductive health, plant extracts, and complementary therapies. The research focused on the effects of improving fertility components in both primary and secondary studies published from 1995 to the end of the year 2024. Results: Herbal treatments have become a natural and effective alternative for enhancing female fertility, addressing issues like hormonal imbalances and oxidative stress. Plant extracts, particularly polyphenolic compounds, help neutralize free radicals and may enhance reproductive health by regulating hormone levels. Certain herbs, such as Vitex agnus-castus, fennel, and Ashwagandha, aid in menstrual regulation and fertility enhancement. Systematic reviews suggest that these remedies can enhance pregnancy rates and improve the quality of oocytes and embryos. However, potential risks must be considered, and further research through rigorous clinical trials is needed to establish standardized guidelines Conclusion: Herbal treatments have been introduced as a natural and effective option for enhancing women's fertility. Further research in pharmacology, phytochemistry, and toxicology could lead to the development of new and effective medications by evaluating the biological activity of compounds extracted from plant extracts. This approach aids in the identification of novel treatments for women's fertility disorders and improves their quality of life and reproductive health. | ||
