Benefits of Acupuncture and TCM for Infertility
Dating back to 11 A.D., Chinese medical literature documents the benefits of acupuncture and TCM for improving conception. TCM not only enhances the probability of pregnancy but also boosts overall body function. This holistic approach is particularly beneficial for individuals over 40, as it stimulates general health and, consequently, reproductive health.
Integrating TCM with Western Medicine
Couples may choose to undergo a comprehensive Western medical reproductive work-up to identify the cause of infertility. While Western medical treatments for infertility can be highly technical and costly, with relatively low success rates, TCM offers a more affordable and effective alternative.
TCM can complement Western medical infertility treatments, enhancing their effectiveness and minimizing side effects and toxicity from invasive procedures and drug therapies. It can be used alone or in conjunction with Western techniques, depending on individual needs.
Personalized TCM Approach to Infertility
TCM addresses infertility through a careful differential diagnosis to resolve underlying patterns of disharmony. Infertility can stem from "deficient" conditions, leading to poor nourishment of the body and organs, or "excess" conditions, obstructing the organs and energy channels (meridians).
Fertility relies on the harmonious balance of Qi, Yin, Yang, and Blood. Our TCM practitioners will thoroughly examine your overall health to identify imbalances, providing individualized treatment plans. Alongside acupuncture and herbal remedies, we emphasize lifestyle changes, including proper diet, stress reduction, and regular exercise, to enhance your chances of conception.
