Based on a completely different medical model than that of western medicine, oriental medicine is a system based on an energetic model. It recognizes that the body is made up of energy. The energy points need to be kept clear for balanced health. If they are blocked, then the body experiences pain or imbalance.

The Chinese look at 5 principal organs - the liver, spleen, heart, lung, and kidneys. Simply put, acupuncture moves energy in the body to release blockages from those areas so that energy or chi can move freely. The kidneys according to Chinese medicine govern reproduction and the deficiency of the kidney energy or 'chi' will lead to the disruption in the normal menstrual cycle, thereby, causing infertility. For women, the use of acupuncture can help to revitalize weak kidneys and alleviate infertility.

The acupuncture procedure takes place by inserting needles into the areas where needed, stimulating and enhancing the reproductive system, thereby, bringing more blood to the uterus, ovaries and the vital areas whereby, you are more likely to conceive. The needles are so thin you can hardly feel them. Acupuncture can help women with fibroids and menstrual cycle pain. It works well with unexplained infertility and many other disorders. It improves uterine blood flow and hormone levels in women. Chances for conceiving were found to increase by 60%.

A woman who undergoes acupuncture before IVF treatment is twice as likely to conceive as a woman who does not. It stimulates the kidney system and the ovaries to produce more estrogen and develop healthier eggs for conception and works to enhance a woman's ability to conceive. Acupuncture won't cure blocked tubes.

Acupuncture has been shown to help men by improving the concentration and volume of sperm and increasing the ability of sperm to move properly towards an egg for fertilization.

To make it easier to conceive use a combination of acupuncture, acupressure and herbs to cleanse and balance your energy. Acupuncture has been shown to be safe when used as part of another infertility treatment, although the incorrect use of acupuncture points could cause a miscarriage.

If you do decide to use acupuncture as part of your fertility treatment, it would be wise to choose an acupuncturist who specializes in treating infertility disorders. Generally it takes treating 2 to 3 menstrual cycles before seeing any results. Visit a practitioner with adequate training, hygienic practice and a willingness to answer any questions you may have.
