Acupuncture for Infertility

Acupuncture for the treatment of infertility has been made popular by the media and recent clinical studies proving its efficacy. But acupuncture and herbal medicine for infertility have been very important aspects of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Fertility was one of the main concerns of the royal families of China, since an heir was needed to maintain the dynasty. Because of this, the royal physicians greatly advanced the science of fertility medicine, and their research over thousands of years with acupuncture and herbal medicine has produced an effective and natural treatment for infertility.

How it Works

In order for you to conceive, your body should be in optimal health. Most importantly your menses should be regular. We will regulate your menstruation through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and diet, and you will take you basal body temperature (BBT) and record it on a BBT chart. With this chart we will monitor the improvement of your menstrual cycle, with special attention to ovulation. After treatment for a couple of months you will be in a much better condition for conceiving and bringing a baby to term.

Acupuncture and IVF

Clinical research shows that acupuncture greatly increases the chances of success with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Scientists believe this may be due to relaxation of the smooth muscle of the uterus, making it more receptive to the implanted embryo. For women undergoing IVF treatment I follow the same protocol that has been proven effective in the clinical trials.

Part of a Long Tradition

The herbal formulas I use for infertility were given to me by Doctor Shen Shaogong, a 16th generation doctor of Chinese medicine, and one of the most renowned herbalists alive today in China. Dr. Shen Shaogong is famous for his treatment of infertility and his formulas are a culmination of 600 years of family experience.
