Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that infertility in women is fundamentally rooted in kidney deficiency, or due to inherent weakness and insufficient endowment; or from careless sexual practices that damage kidney essence; or from frequent childbirth that weakens the kidneys. The spleen is the foundation of postnatal health and the source of essence and blood. Spleen deficiency leads to a lack of essence and blood, resulting in infertility. Women regard the liver as the foundation of congenital health. The liver stores blood and governs the smooth flow of qi. Liver stagnation and qi blockage can naturally cause infertility in women.
