- Acupuncture and Its Benefits
After I received a phone call today ~ did I learn about acupuncture and its benefits in regards to infertility. So, of course, my curious mind had to begin studying this. Below is a few highlights I wanted to share.
1. Acupuncture increases conception rates estimated at 26%.
2. "Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, and balancing the endocrine system. It can also provide better blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, creating a stronger chance for an egg to be nourished and carried to term."
3. It is the goal not only to get pregnant, but to be able to stay pregnant and have a healthy baby.
4. One of the ways acupuncture infertility treatment increases fertility is by reducing stress, which is often a key factor in the fertility of both men and women. When people are under stress, the hormone cortizol is released in the brain. This alters the brain's neurochemical balance, thus changing hormone levels and disrupting the pituitary balance that is key to the reproductive cycle. “Chinese medicine can help support a woman through this important time in her life—whether that is emotionally or physically, acupuncture can help with much more than just conception. It can help with morning sicknesss, nausea, aches and pains (low back pain, for example), anxiety preparation for birth, and insomnia, among many others,”
5. "Acupuncture infertility treatment, by contrast, produces few or no side effects while performing the same function as the drugs do: stimulating the hypothalamus to effectively balance the endocrine system and its hormones and to get to the root cause of female infertility as well as male infertility."
