Chinese medicine sees the person as an integral Mind/body organism, thereby does not treat just symptoms/diseases. It ventures to stimulate the body’s natural healing potential by treating root causes rather than just symptoms.

Fertility

The benefits of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine in treatment for the infertile couple can be found in early Chinese medical literature dating back to the 11AD. Not only do these techniques assist in regulating the menstrual cycle and invigorating the sperm, but they also serve to enhance the function of the whole body.

There are many factors that can influence fertility such as emotional state, amount of stress in life, diet  and life style. For example stress has an effect on the hormones that are secreted from the brain which can alter the menstrual cycle and effect ovulation. Stress also effects blood flow to the reproductive organs which also will have an effect on fertility.

By regulating period, hormonal balance and ovulation, Chinese Medicine helps to improve the blood flow to the uterus and ovaries and thus helping potential conception. By strengthening and balancing one’s general health IUI and IVF procedures could be more effective and less stressful.

In the treatment of infertility, Chinese Medicine minimizes undesired side effects and accumulated toxicity from invasive procedures and drug therapies.

It is advisable to start treatment few weeks or months before starting your family. Timing and consistency is also important, especially for women, as there are specific hormonal adjustments that can be made at each week of the menstrual cycle. It takes a minimum of three consecutive cycles (12 treatments) to do the foundation work of regulation regardless of biological age.
