Bai Hua She She Cao and fertility treatments

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am recently studying up on the treatment of PCOS, especially in regards to the

treatment

of infertility. Now a common presentation for PCOS is muzzle acne that

fluctuates with the

menses. This type of acne can be due to elevated levels of testosterone. Mazin

Al Khafaji

passed on a formula during his dermatology course that he said helps convert

androgens

to estrogens and is specific for the treatment of acne related to PCOS. The

formula is

basically:

Xu Chasng Qing

Bai Hua She She Cao

Chai Hu

Bai Shao

Gan Cao

Now my question is, knowing that modern research does show that Bai Hua She She

Cao

lowers male hormones dramatically ( lowers sperm counts), can this influence a

womens

reproductive hormones as well? Meaning will less estradoil be converted from

testosterone if the testosterone levels are reduced too much, and thus be a

detriment to

fertility? I haven't heard too much about Bai Hua She She Cao on womens

hormones, so I

guess I am a little confused.

Any one with experience or thoughts about this?

Thanks,

Trevor
