Low AMH
A low AMH result can feel devastating—but it does not mean the end of your fertility journey. Research and our clinical experience show there is more that can be done.

AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a marker of ovarian reserve—it reflects the number of developing follicles in your ovaries. A low reading indicates reduced reserve, but it does not measure the quality of the eggs you have, and it does not mean you cannot conceive.
From a Chinese medicine perspective, low AMH develops when the body lacks the deep energy and nourishment needed to support egg development. Contributing factors include chronic stress, prolonged hormonal treatment, poor digestion, insufficient rest, or illness. These gradually deplete the body's core resources, reducing its capacity to nourish the ovaries.
How We Support Low AMH Patients
Rather than stimulating the ovaries in isolation, our approach focuses on strengthening the body's foundation—so it can better nourish the ovaries on its own.
Improve Circulation
Enhanced blood flow to the ovaries ensures better delivery of nutrients and hormones needed for egg development. Poor circulation is one of the most common underlying issues we see in low AMH patients.
Restore Hormonal Balance
Personalised herbal formulas work to regulate hormone levels—particularly FSH and estradiol—creating a more supportive environment for ovarian function and follicle development.
Rebuild Core Energy
Strengthening the body's foundational energy through targeted herbal support addresses the root cause of declining reserve. When the body has the resources it needs, the ovaries respond.
Support Egg Quality
While AMH reflects quantity, egg quality matters even more for conception. Our herbal formulas are designed to nourish the conditions for healthier egg maturation over several cycles.
Our Clinical Experience
Over more than twelve years, we have worked with many women diagnosed with low AMH—including those told they needed donor eggs or that IVF was their only option. In our experience, most patients see improvement in their AMH levels and overall reproductive health through our programme.
Our herbal support works both for women trying to conceive naturally and for those preparing for or recovering between IVF cycles. Better foundational health means better response to any path you choose.

What the Research Says
A growing body of peer-reviewed research supports the use of Chinese herbal medicine for diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, and as a complement to IVF.
CHM May Increase AMH and Follicle Count
A 2025 systematic review in the Journal of Ovarian Research analysed 12 clinical studies and 38 basic research papers. CHM formulas significantly increased AMH levels, increased antral follicle count, and decreased FSH levels in women with diminished ovarian reserve.
Improved Ovarian Function in POI
A double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT published in Menopause (2018) with 146 women found that a Chinese herbal formula was significantly more effective than placebo for improving hormone levels and ovarian function in premature ovarian insufficiency after 12 weeks.
Better Results Than Hormone Therapy Alone
A meta-analysis of 23 RCTs (1,712 patients) found that TCM groups showed significantly higher effectiveness rates than hormone therapy alone, with better improvement in FSH, estradiol levels, and ovarian blood flow.
Higher Live Birth Rates With IVF
A study in Reproductive Biomedicine Online (2015) found that whole-systems TCM (herbs + acupuncture) combined with IVF was associated with more than double the odds of live birth compared to IVF alone (adjusted OR 2.09).
CHM Doubles Pregnancy Rates
An updated meta-analysis in Complementary Therapies in Medicine (2015) found that CHM improved pregnancy rates 2-fold within 3–6 months compared to western medicine (60% vs 33%), with positive effects on ovulation, endometrial lining, and cycle regularity.
Dramatically Higher Live Birth in Low Reserve
A 2025 study in Medicina found that among low ovarian reserve patients, live birth rate was 5% in the control group compared to 32% with CHM alone and 42% with combined CHM and IVF support.
Note: While these studies show promising results, many authors note methodological limitations and call for larger trials. Chinese herbal medicine should be considered as a complementary approach, and we always recommend discussing your situation with your GP or fertility specialist alongside any herbal support.
