  • How does acupuncture help in treating infertility?

    Good day to you and thank you for your question. I will attempt to answer your question as simply as possible. Infertility can be due to many factors. In Traditonal Chinese Medicine, (TCM) our goal is to achieve balance of the flow of QI, (Chee) or Energy. The Qi flows up and down the body via energy pathways called meridians. It is Qi that moves blood and it is blood that feeds the body and the internal organs. If the energy flows as it should, the body will be at ease and conception will occur. Stress, diet, sleep, state of mind and exercise effects the flow of this Qi, resulting in (dis-ease). Acupuncture is the use of one time use, Sterile stainless steel fine needles at specific areas of the meridian. Each area or point has an indication and an action, which will balance the flow of qi. In an effort to conceive, the uterus should be the right environment for the embryo. If the qi flows too slow, the uterus may too cold, if the qi moves too fast, it may be too hot, or vice versa. Acupuncture will be used to balance the flow of Qi. However may to need to examine diet and emotional state of mind and be willing to take Chinese Herbal medicine, change diet and exercise in conjunction with Acupuncture. I hope this helps, thank you for your question and good luck. READ MORE
