Fertility, Infertility, IVF & IUI
Treatment with acupuncture has been shown to improve IVF and IUI results by 50%, thereby reducing the number of assisted fertility cycles and improving the chances of reaching the desired goal of pregnancy. In men, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition, and exercise and lifestyle improvements can considerably improve sperm quality, quantity, motility and morphology. Additionally, libido levels in both men and women generally improve with treatment.
Many GYN and fertility-related conditions are the result of excessive levels of stress and frustration, combined with a hectic lifestyle and poor-quality nutrition, all of which have a negative effect on the central nervous system function, hormone balance, and the health of the reproductive organs.
Research has shown that acupuncture has a proven normalizing and stabilizing effect on the body's central nervous system function and the condition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. These systems are altered with stress, frustration, a hectic lifestyle and improper nutrition. As sterile needles are inserted into different acupuncture points, natural substances are released by the body, allowing for deep relaxation to occur. In this relaxed state, the condition of the CNS and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis begin to normalize. As this occurs, hormone levels (FSH, LH, Thyroid levels) linked with central nervous system function also begins to normalize. Over time, with treatment and individual modifications, this normalized state of the CNS and its associated systems become stabilized.
Additionally, acupuncture and certain Chinese herbs remove the stagnation and congestion in the internal pathways that provide circulation to the reproductive organs. As circulation improves with each monthly and seasonal cycle, the health of the reproductive organs is renewed. Additionally, Chinese herbs can be used to improve energy level and blood quality. On average, it requires at least 3 cycles of treatment to prepare the reproductive organs in this way. Good nutrition, proper rest, and moderate exercise support the improvement in circulation in the internal pathways, to improve uterine health, ovum quality, and make a woman much more receptive to implantation. .
