Acupuncture and Infertility
Acupuncture combined with Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle changes can and does result in the seemingly impossible becoming very possible indeed.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine to manage a variety of conditions. As an acupuncturist I use acupuncture alongside herbal medicine to rebalance your hormones, stimulate ovulation and prepare your body for conception; whether natural or assisted.
Acupuncture can help to reduce your stress levels, modulate your immune system and control your pain by stimulating the release of beta-endorphins. It is also thought to decrease the chance of miscarriage by increasing blood flow to your uterus and regulating your hormones.
When used as a treatment for infertility, acupuncture helps by:
- boosting blood flow to reproductive organs
- balancing hormones
- relieving stress
