  1. Hormonal regulation:  Acupuncture helps re-balance subtle hormonal discrepancies and thus helps regulate menstruation and ovulation.Acupuncture for infertility treatment

  3. Relieves Stress:  Acupuncture calms & lowers stress hormones that can obstruct fertility.
  4. Reduces Inflammation:  Acupuncture reduces inflammation, both systemic and local, which can inhibit or impair fertility odds.
  5. Enhances Ovarian Blood Flow & Follicle Growth: Acupuncture helps follicles grow by sending nourishing blood flow to the ovaries (decreased ovarian blood flow is a common issue in women 35yo+).
  6. Benefits Egg Release (Timing and Quality):  Acupuncture enhances ovulation.

This is the first in a series of several monthly blog posts related to fertility, IVF and acupuncture/herbal medicine.  Future posts will discuss topics such as the benefits of herbal medicinal formulas with fertility/IVF as well as discussing the optimal window of time to receive acupuncture before and/or after an Egg Retrieval or IVF transfer.  Stay tuned!
