ACUPUNCTURE for optimising fertility
There are many research studies suggesting that acupuncture may help in various areas relating to female and male fertility, conception, improvement of IVF outcome, and pregnancy support. By inserting acupuncture needles into specific acupoints, acupuncturist can regulate the flow of qi and blood, rectify the disturbances and dysfunctions of organs in the body, and restore their normal functions.
“Nourish the soil before planting the seeds”.
~Chinese proverb
The environment of uterus and all reproductive system, the female soil, can shift out of balance due to hormone imbalances, inflammation, infections, nutrient deficiencies, toxicity, poor blood flow, digestion problems, stress and many other genetic and environmental factors, which result in premature fertility decline. Acupuncture has been used in China for centuries to prepare that soil, the uterine environment by regulating the female reproductive system, Numerous studies indicate few potential mechanisms that effects fertility:
- Acupuncture may mediate the release of neurotransmitters, which may in turn stimulate secretion of gonadotrophin releasing hormone, thereby influencing the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and fertility.
- Acupuncture may stimulate blood flow to the uterus by inhibiting uterine central sympathetic nerve activity.
- Acupuncture may stimulate the production of endogenous opioids, which may inhibit the central nervous system outflow and the biological stress response.
- lower stress hormones which interfere with ovulation
- balance thyroid function
- promote blood circulation in the uterus, ovaries and testes
- improve ovarian function and follicular development
- thicken the lining of the uterus
- boost and balance the immune system
