FERTILITY
Traditional Chinese medicine has enhanced fertility for thousands
of years. Because acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can strongly
influence the reproductive and endocrine systems, it can help address
a wide variety of women's health concerns that may hinder fertility
such as PMS, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, fibroids, endometriosis,
ovarian cysts, and PCOS. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can improve
these gynecological conditions as well as promote overall emotional
and physical well-being in order to restore balance in a woman's
body and increase fertility.
Chinese medicine can have the following effects for those seeking
to promote their fertility naturally or with the help of assisted reproductive
therapies (ART) such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or intra-uterine
insemination (IUI).
- Regulate hormones
- Improve ovarian functions and the quality and quantity of follicles
- Increase blood flow to the uterus and thicken uterine lining for
implantation
- Reduce side-effects of western drugs and intervention
- Increase sperm count, mobility and quality
- Reduce chances of miscarriages
- Strengthen the immune system
- Decrease stress and anxiety
- Relax the uterus
The practitioner and patient work closely together. In addition
to acupuncture and herbal medicine, the patient takes
an active role in her own health and fertility using Basal Body
Temperature charts, cervical fluid tracking, and nutritional
and lifestyle therapies.
