The treatment of infertility with Acupuncture and Chinese medicine dates back 2000 years. These ancient, time-tested techniques improve fertility and supports a woman’s whole body, facilitating health, healing and successful childbearing.

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture do this by affecting the quality, quantity, balance and flow of Qi and blood. When Qi, also called Life Energy, and blood are circulating freely throughout the body, every cell, tissue and organ is properly nourished and functioning well. When this occurs, a woman’s health and fertility are increased.

LANDMARK STUDIES
A study published in the medical journal Fertility & Sterility1 , found that acupuncture dramatically improves the chances of becoming pregnant. Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical Center2 in New York reviewed studies, and concluded that acupuncture helps to:

  • Increase blood flow to the uterus, which improves the chances of an ovum implanting on the uterine wall.
  • Reduces anxiety & stress, (hormones that are secreted during stressful situations can significantly decrease fertility.)
  • Normalize hormone and endocrine systems that regulate ovulation, especially in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
  • Positively affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis which plays a key role in fertility.
