False Unicorn Root - please help!!

Alison · 03-20-2002, 03:56 PM

Hi

Dh and I have been told that we can't conceive naturally but wanted to try and "go herbal" to see if it will work as we can't afford ICSI.

Has anyone tried False Unicorn Root and if so where did you buy it from? It's the only herb I can't find!

any help would be great

Thanks

Alison

Hiya Alison,

You can order it from here:
http://www.tryingtoconceive.com/store/herbs.htm

If you go to www.smileherb.com, you can buy the seeds and grow your own .. a much cheaper alternative!

Hope this helps, and good luck to you!

Thanks for replying lasmus. I'll keep that in mind!

Does anyone know where I can get it from in the UK?

Cheers

Alison,

I have yet to find a UK supplier. The herb is quite rare apparently and only grows in one area in America. Even in the States there is only a few stockists, apparently the larger chains don't stock it because there isn't a huge demand for it.

If anyone knows of a UK stockist i would be interested to know

I have not tried this particular herb but have used agnus castus on a couple of occasions and it has made me bleed although not on a regular basis. I am also taking
St johns wort which has made me feel better and less moody!!! good luck,Tara

Hi Alison I thought I would have a quick look to see if I could find any UK suppliers of False Unicorn root, the above address is from a company in the UK at www.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk

This formula contains chamaelirium luteum (False Unicorn root) and also contains other ingredients to help ovulation.

Hope it helps. If you want I can continue on the quest for a UK supplier via search engines. E-mail me if you want me to continue (enjoy searching for things) but probably you have exhausted all other options.

Best regards
Sue
