Fertility: How Acupuncture Can Help
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) looks at infertility very different than Western medicine does. In Chinese medicine, the body is viewed as one complete balanced system where fertility is simply only one component. Chinese medicine believes that women who are trying to conceive require healthy and strong Qi energy (life energy), balanced Yin and Yang, and proper circulation of energy and body fluids.
Studies have revealed that acupuncture could aid in the chances of conceiving naturally or through assisted reproductive treatments such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
Acupuncture may improve your chances of fertility by:
- Balancing the hormone and endocrine systems that regulate ovulation
- Improving blood flow to your reproductive organs
- Increasing the thickness and receptivity of your uterine lining
- Lowering levels of stress and anxiety
Treating infertility with acupuncture is different for every woman; factors such as previous pregnancies, age, lifestyle, exercise, nutrition, and stress will all contribute to what goes into the treatment process from one woman to another.
