You are the Dry Type
People who are the Dry Type are a bit like a desert: supporting new growth can be difficult, but the desert will burst into full bloom in the right conditions.
YOUR FERTILITY TYPE EXPLAINED
The Dry Type
From a Chinese medicine perspective, we refer to the Dry Type as kidney “yin” deficiency. Yin describes the body’s functions that are cooling, nourishing, & dampening; without enough yin, the body gets hotter & dries out. Dry Types complain of feeling hot, especially at night, & can suffer from dry skin, constipation, night sweats, & vaginal dryness. Dry people’s symptoms may be due to an imbalance of reproductive hormones, especially low estrogen and progesterone levels.
Here is some advice for Dry Types to bring your body back into balance improve your fertility:
- Take Nourish, our Herbal Formula for the Dry Type
- Hydrate & Incorporate Fatty Acids
- Avoid alcohol, sweets, greasy & spicy foods
- Get more Iron (we love Floradix) & Take L-Carnitine
- Reduce stress & stay active, but avoid excessive exercise
- Consider using a BBT Thermometer to track your cycle

Nourish was formulated to meet the needs of the Dry Fertility Type. Specifically designed to treat yin deficiency, Nourish supports the body’s dampening, nourishing, and cooling functions, which sometimes decline as we age. It addresses low estrogen levels, which lead to poor egg quality, and an under-resourced follicle leading to low progesterone. We use it to treat hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and to support fertility in cases of diminished ovarian reserve. Read about ingredients, suggested use and drug interaction
