In female anatomy, the fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the womb or uterus and transport the egg or ovum to the womb. Fertilization of the egg also usually occurs here. Infertility can be a distressing condition for couples, and in almost a third of cases, infertility is attributed to fallopian tube blockage. This prevents fertilization or pregnancy. One or both fallopian tubes may be blocked by mucus plugs, debris or fluid or scar tissue. In some cases, herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine can remove the fallopian tube blockage.

How Herbs Unblock Fallopian Tubes

Certain herbal remedies work by reducing inflammation and irritation in the fallopian tubes. Active substances found in these herbs can help to soften or break down scar tissue and adhesions and dissolve cell debris and mucus plugs. They also decrease inflammation and remove scar tissue caused by an ectopic pregnancy or by infections such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia and tuberculosis. Herbal remedies are administered by drinking as a tea or tonic, swallowing an herbal pill or capsule or by using a tampon containing the herbal medicines. The active substances are then carried by the blood stream to the fallopian tubes.
