Fertility and Pregnancy

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.

Pregnancy

Traditional Chinese medicine offers a natural means of safeguarding healthy pregnancies that is safe for a mother and her baby. Pregnancy is a new and special time in a woman's life. It is a time when a woman begins to understand that she is supporting not only herself, but also creating and nurturing another life. Chinese medicine can ease a woman through the many physical and emotional changes that occur during each trimester of her pregnancy and help to ensure a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. As she approaches her due date, weekly acupuncture treatments can help prepare a mother for a smooth labor by relaxing the pelvic floor muscles, helping the baby lower into position, and alleviating anxiety and stress. Acupuncture can also be an effective tool to enhance labor.
