Why choose Chinese Medicine to assist in treating infertility?
It is a safe and effective modality that has been used for thousands of years to assist in reproduction. According to Chinese medicine, infertility is caused by an imbalance of Qi (energy) in specific organs and meridians. In order to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy, the circulation of Qi and blood must be flowing freely throughout the body and any underlying deficiencies or excesses must be addressed. Chinese Medicine supports a woman’s whole body and can improve fertility by affecting the quality, quantity, balance and flow of Qi and blood. Plus, it’s natural!
In all cases, the focus is treating your whole being, and the root cause of your imbalance. As a result you will not only experience an improvement in your specific condition, but better over all health and sense of well being. Depending on the cause of infertility, we may need to see you for a few cycles, ranging from 3-6 months. If you are doing ART it will depend on your treatment regimen.
Assisted Reproductive Therapies (ART)
Regardless of the Assisted Reproductive Technique (ART) you are planning on or currently undergoing (Clomid, IUI, superovulation, IVF, ICSI), your fertility and wellness will be optimized through Traditional Chinese medical techniques. Most women also find they are calmer, with less stress and anxiety when using TCM along side ART.
Research suggests that acupuncture can dramatically improve the chances of becoming pregnant when used alongside assisted reproductive techniques. In a study published in the Human Reproduction Journal, an ultrasound was used to evaluate blood flow to the uterus during acupuncture treatments. The study found blood flow increases during treatment. Combining the reduction of stress, regulation of ovulation and menstrual cycles along with increase uterine blood flow, allows for the successful implantation of an embryo.
