Acupuncuture and Fertility

By addressing each person as an individual Chinese Medicine tailors each treatment to one’s personal needs. Acupuncture points are chosen based on meridian theory to remove blocks in the natural creation and movement of Qi and blood. In doing so it brings balance back to the body’s natural hormonal rhythms. When the mind is calm, and there is an abundance of Qi and a healthy flow of blood, the body is at its optimal health to create a new life.

• Releasing natural endorphins and reducing stress hormones, helping decrease the negative impacts of stress on fertility

• Regulating a woman’s menstrual cycle thereby improving chances of fertility and decreasing symptoms of PMS

• Improving pregnancy rates in IVF and other Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)
