Fertility Support with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine

‍ ‍

Trying to conceive can be an emotional and sometimes stressful journey. Fertility challengers may involve both partners and can be influenced by hormonal balance, stress levels, lifestyle, and overall health.

‍ ‍

How Acupuncture Can Help Fertility

‍ ‍

Acupuncture may support fertility by:

‍ ‍

•       Improving blood circulation to the reproductive organs

• ‍ ‍

•       Regulating menstrual cycles

• ‍ ‍

•       Supporting ovulation

• ‍ ‍

•       Supporting hormonal balance

• ‍ ‍

•       Reducing stress and promoting relaxation

‍ ‍

In a clinical trial which observed that acupuncture significantly increased the rates of pregnancy in women with unexplained infertility. It was also found that acupuncture significantly reduced anxiety levels.

‍ ‍

Stress upsets the delicate balance between the hypothalamus (a region of the forebrain), the major endocrine gland and reproductive glands and is capable of preventing a woman from ovulating entirely. Research suggests that acupuncture can increase your chances of fertility by reducing stress, balancing the endocrine system and increasing the flow of cleaner blood to the reproductive organs.

‍ ‍

In men, stress can alter sperm counts, motility, and can cause impotence. Acupuncture counters the symptoms of stress and cortisol by releasing endorphins in the brain. At our Essential Acupuncture Clinic, couple consultation and treatment is available for making a personalised treatment plan for your fertility journey.

‍ ‍

Another significant factor affecting conception and development of human embryos and foetuses is environmental toxicity. According to the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals, reproductive toxins may contribute to a ‘spectrum of adverse effects on reproductive health’. They are present in air, water, consumer products, soil, dust, and food. This makes them extremely difficult to avoid in your daily lives.

‍ ‍

At Essential Acupuncture Clinic we work with you to reduce anxiety and stress, cleanse the body of toxins and ensure that every cell, tissue and organ is properly nurtured and in prime condition. This collaborative approach may not be achieved with acupuncture alone and will involve a combination of acupuncture treatments, Chinese Herbal Medicine, dietary considerations, exercise and where necessary, medical interventions.
