Who hasn’t heard of garrafada? Those with Northeastern roots, or with relatives or friends from this region, have certainly come across garrafada or at least heard of its reputation. Garrafada is a mixture of herbs and natural elements. Together, they may help those who wish to get pregnant and may also assist with various other issues, including health problems. Garrafada originated in the northern and northeastern states of Brazil, where the tradition was established many years ago. Although there is no scientific evidence backing it, many people still use it today. Many herbal and natural recipes are part of popular knowledge and are passed down from generation to generation.

Garrafada for getting pregnant is used by women who wish to establish hormonal balance to support nature and achieve conception. It can be effective, but must be taken with extreme caution. In excess, it will have the opposite effect of what is expected. Besides garrafada, if you are trying to get pregnant and want to closely monitor your cycle and ovulation, a great way to give yourself an extra boost is to use ovulation tests. They will indicate if ovulation is approaching, is happening, or has already ended. You can purchase your Famivita ovulation test here in our online store.

Normally, garrafadas can be found at open-air markets, stores selling Northeastern goods, and even at health food stores. The main recommendation is to always buy garrafada from reputable places, so you don’t purchase a product of doubtful origin that could cause trouble.

It is also extremely important to be certain about the ingredients that are in a particular garrafada. Some garrafadas contain ingredients that may cause miscarriage if a woman becomes pregnant and takes them at the wrong time.

Most garrafadas have the mixture’s composition listed on the label. The problem is in combining natural herbs and pharmaceutical medications and the incompatibility they might have. It is not recommended to take garrafada together with medicines containing clomiphene, nor with medication for high blood pressure. If you are hypertensive or diabetic, garrafada may not be the best option. It can cause unwanted side effects, aggravating these conditions. The same applies to women with kidney problems. As for clomiphene, the dosage of this hormone would cancel out the desired effect of the other garrafada ingredients, so it is not advisable to use them at the same time.

Another very important point is to strictly follow the recommended dosages. Using more garrafada than recommended can bring serious health consequences. Avoid mixing different types of products as well. Even if they are natural, a high quantity or an inadvisable mixture can also end up badly.

Homemade garrafada for getting pregnant

If you want to make garrafada at home, it is a simple process. However, you should know it is not meant to be taken throughout your whole cycle, but rather at the beginning, for a maximum of 10 days.

Recipe for homemade garrafada for getting pregnant:

  • 2 cups of brown sugar
  • 2 yams with skin
  • 1 handful of yellow uxi
  • 1 handful of cat’s claw
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 4 cloves
  • 1 liter of dry white wine

Directions:

Melt the brown sugar in a pan. Then, turn off the heat and add the wine. Stir until completely blended. Next, place all the other ingredients, cut into small pieces, inside a bottle that can be sealed, and cover the mixture with the sweetened wine. This mixture should rest for at least a week before being consumed. It should be used at most for 2 cycles of 10 days each and should be made fresh after these cycles. The dosage should be low, as this mixture contains alcohol, and at most one cup per day should be consumed, split into 3 doses. It is best consumed before main meals.

This garrafada for getting pregnant can indeed help with problems of the reproductive system. It may help reduce existing problems, such as inflammation, fibroids, polycystic ovaries, and microcysts. It can also increase cervical mucus, which is so important for those trying to conceive. Additionally, pomegranate helps to balance hormones that may be out of place.

The key is to know how to take it. It is recommended to not use it for more than 10 days, and if your cycle is very short, reduce this period to one week. Be especially careful with garrafadas that contain agoniada or rue. They help regulate the cycle but can also be harmful to women who are pregnant and do not know it. It is important that you reach your fertile period after you have stopped taking this garrafada for getting pregnant, as it could cause problems such as fetal malformation and even miscarriage.
