How Can Acupuncture and TCM Help
Balance hormones
Acupuncture is believed to regulate the endocrine system, potentially improving the production and function of hormones crucial for ovulation, egg quality, and sperm health.
Enhance Blood Flow
By stimulating specific acupoints, acupuncture may increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, creating a more nourishing environment for conception and implantation.
Improve Sperm Quality
Studies suggest acupuncture may improve sperm count, motility, and morphology in men.
Support Overall Wellbeing
TCM takes a holistic view of health. Acupuncture and herbal remedies (when appropriate) can address underlying issues that may be affecting fertility, such as poor sleep or digestive problems.
Reduce Stress
Stress can significantly impact fertility. Acupuncture's relaxing effects can help manage stress hormones, promoting a calmer and more receptive state for conception.
