More on Acupuncture for Preconception & Fertility
The foundations of TCM are based on theories that emphasize the need for balance when maintaining good health. Any form of illness or health condition is considered an imbalance of qi and blood, not an indefinite state. Therefore, women who claim to suffer from infertility are actually just migrating away from their desired state of reproductive health. Many factors can create an imbalance in optimum reproductive health and this will be discussed and determined during a full consultation.
Couples trying to conceive have many options and through consultation an acupuncture physician will determine if acupuncture will remain a “stand alone treatment”. Stress, changes in lifestyle or traumatic experiences can create obstacles when trying to conceive but acupuncture can provide enough support for a woman to conceive naturally.
Many couples seek the advances of Western medicine to become pregnant. Pregnancy through modern treatment of in vitro-fertilization is also dramatically increased with consistent acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture ensures the smooth flow of qi and blood needed to nourish and support tissues and organ function. Blood work taken during the process of in vitro is useful for a TCM physician to create a treatment plan based on the exact areas of imbalance.
Always be mindful that conceiving is a miracle of human kind.
The practice of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM, for the causes of infertility has been used successfully for 2000 years. Treatment can raise the fertility potential by affecting the quality, quantity, balance and flow of qi and blood. The holistic approach in treatment starts with regulating menstruation and ovulation. To conceive naturally, women must have a regular, healthy cycle indicating signs of ovulation and proper blood flow. Acupuncture and herbs will regulate this cycle and positive changes are evident within 1 month. Consistent Acupuncture treatment will:
Regulate and ensure a healthy menstrual cycle
- Balance the hormones secreted during stress, anxiety and other emotions that decrease a woman’s chances at conceiving
- Increase blood flow to the uterus improving implantation of an ovum on the uterine wall
- Support a women’s body after conception to decrease chance of miscarriage
A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark.
