Acupuncture for Fertility

Acupuncture is a practice whereby thin needles are inserted into specific points on the body as a way to treat pain and other health problems. In recent years, acupuncture has been increasingly used to treat infertility in the West (it has long been used in Chinese medicine for this and other purposes), and acupuncture itself has gained more acceptance in Western medicine (for example, some insurance companies will now pay for acupuncture treatment).

When it comes to using acupuncture for fertility there are a few different ways the practice can work. If you are undergoing other medical treatment to treat infertility (such as IVF), the treatment itself can be very stressful. In this case, acupuncture can be used to relieve stress which is thought by some to be an inhibiting factor when it comes to fertility treatments. Another way acupuncture is thought to help with fertility is through promoting the release of certain hormones that improve fertility.

Acupuncture can be used to treat fertility problems in both women and men. With men, it is believed to help raise sperm levels and productivity. With women, it can help regulate hormones and with IVF treatments. Although it involves needles, most who undergo treatment do not find it to be painful at all. Unlike many drugs to treat fertility, acupuncture also does not have any bad side effects.

Many who use acupuncture for fertility treatment find the most success when this is combined with a holistic approach that combines diet, herbal fertility supplements and other practices.

One of the most successful examples of such an approach is the Pregnancy Miracle fertility treatment system developed by Lisa Olson. This complete holistic and natural fertility system combines acupuncture with diet, herbs and other practices and has had shown to have quite remarkable results. Some women who have been told they have little chance of ever becoming pregnant report being able to conceive just months after starting the Pregnancy Miracle fertility system.

Here is a recent news video that discusses some of the many benefits of acupuncture for fertility:
