Awakening the Wisdom Within Your Body and Mind

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to help women become pregnant. Not only is it a safe and effective alternative for those seeking to become pregnant naturally but also aids couples through the complete process of modern fertility technologies.

At our clinic we offer full services for the couple who is going through these challenging times. Stress is of a concern and we provide care through the whole process from before, during and after the pregnancy.

We are mindful of the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) procedures and offer full support. The benefits can range anywhere from reducing the side effects of medications to reducing the number of miscarriages to increasing the success rates of implantations and full term pregnancies.

1. Increased blood flow to the uterus and therefore uterine wall thickness
2. Increased endorphin production, which in turn has been shown to effect the release of GnRH
3. Lower stress hormones responsible for infertility
4. Impact on plasma levels of the fertility hormones:FSH, LH, E2, Progesterone
5. Normalization of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis
6. Positive effect for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome present in 3 percent of adults and children
7. Decreased side effects of ART medications

In China, the combined use of modern drugs or other Western medical techniques along with Chinese herbs is not uncommon. Although the outcome for any given individual cannot be predicted the clinical studies conducted in China indicate that about 70% of all cases of infertility (male and female) treated by Chinese herbs resulted in pregnancy or restored fertility. Depending on the particular study and the types of infertility treated, success rates ranged from about 50% to more than 90%. Included in these statistics are cases of infertility involving obstruction of the fallopian tubes, amenorrhea, absent ovulation, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, low sperm count, nonliquification of semen, and other causes.
