6 Ways Acupuncture May Boost Fertility

Acupuncture, the traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses hair-thin needles to treat pain,
allergies, and nausea, is showing promise as a treatment for female infertility. Researchers from New
York Weill Cornell Medical Center reviewed existing studies and found that acupuncture helps:

  • Reduce stress hormones that interfere with ovulation
  • Normalize hormones that regulate ovulation so an egg is released
  • Increase blood flow to the uterus, improving the chances of a fertilized egg implanting
  • Improve ovulation cycles in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which makes
    getting pregnant difficult
  • Improve pregnancy rates in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)
  • Lower FSH level by improving ovarian condition  

If you want to avoid taking fertility drugs, have PCOS, are not eligible for IVF, or want to improve the
success rate of IVF, consider acupuncture, says study author Raymond Chang, MD, an acupuncturist
and clinical assistant professor of medicine at Cornell. Chinese Medicine seeks to restore balance to
the body. Therefore, the practitioner begins by doing a Chinese medical diagnosis to determine the
patient's individualized pattern of disharmony even with the same condition?ainfertility. Based on the
individualized pattern diagnosis, the practitioner will then craft a personalized treatment plan
encompassing all aspects of the patient's life. No matter whether your practitioner primarily uses
acupuncture or Chinese herbal medicine or some combination of both, their focus will be on
eliminating the root imbalance that is causing your infertility.

Acupuncture is a system of healing that has been evolving for over thousands years. It began in China.
Over time, hundreds of skilled clinicians employed careful observation, experimentation, and erudite
deduction to identify logical model of human body as well as relationships within the body and the
environment. The ensuing therapeutic modality utilizes the insertion of fine needles into precise
locations around the body. Today, acupuncture physicians, clinicians ans scholars all over the world
continue to employ, research and expand on the theories ans methods handed down through
generations.

To identify the nature of illness, the acupuncture physician have to determines a patient's pattern of
disharmony, which is deduced by meticulously differentiating signs ans symptoms of illness revealed
through careful questioning and physical examination performed only with the natural senses.

Once identified, the pattern of disharmony implies a treatment principle. The treatment principle
suggests the appropriate acupuncture points to stimulate as well as the correct method of stimulation
in order to interface with the body to restore harmony. With harmony restored, the body heals itself
according to it innate ability.

Acupuncture's main effect is to regulate the body so it can heal naturally. Correct pattern discrimination
can detect minor functional disturbances that cannot be measured in the laboratory. Because pattern
discrimination always suggests a treatment principle, acupuncture treatment is always possible. If
properly executed, the treatment can have excellent results without producing side effects. Because of
this, acupuncture also excels in preventing illness. This is perhaps acupuncture's least known, least
sought after, yet strongest and most beneficial attribute.
