FERTILITY HACK: Wear socks!

chinese medicine fertility progesterone

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the channels that start in your feet connect to your womb. Cold feet = “cold uterus” = constriction, lack of proper blood circulation. To get pregnant, our womb needs to be lush and warm.🔥

Progesterone is considered a warming hormone in TCM. Signs of low Progesterone:

❆Low basal body temperature (BBT)

❆Low libido

❆Weight gain

❆Short luteal phases (luteal phase defects)

❆Irregular menstrual cycles

❆Long menstrual cycles

❆History of pregnancy loss

❆Low thyroid function

❆Anxiety or depression

Increasing Progesterone levels can require nutrition and lifestyle changes that take some time. But one VERY easy way to support Progesterone levels manually and naturally is to keep your feet warm!

SO…

🧦Wear socks!

And you can also…

🧦Use heat packs on your feet nightly

🧦Do hot foot soaks

🧦Ditch the flip flops
