FERTILITY + HORMONAL
Acupuncture Benefits
1. Hormonal Balance Acupuncture is able to help regulate hormones in your body. This is amazing for your fertility and menstrual cycle as your hormone levels are vital for a healthy body and womb. Hormonal imbalances massively impact your ovulation and entire cycle, this making it very difficult for natural conception to occur. Fertility acupuncture helps to bring balance to the body, improving the chances of successful pregnancy. O r simply just massively improved periods.
2. Improved Blood Flow Acupuncture stimulates blood flow throughout the body, this is amazing in the areas of your womb, ovaries, fallopian tubes and your pituitary gland. Improved blood flow to these areas can improve the environment your egg are growing in (therefore improving egg health), it can also improve chances of successful implantation, and support throughout pregnancy.
3. Stress Managment nfertility can cause huge emotional and psychological stress for couples, this spiking cortisol levels in the body. Fertility acupuncture has been found to have a calming effect on the nervous system and reduce stress levels, helping to bring down cortisol (cortisol can massively impact ovulation and other hormones). By promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety, acupuncture can help to cope with the emotional challenges associated with the fertility journey. Lower stress levels can furthermore positively impact hormonal balance and reproductive function.
4. Improved IVF Outcomes For couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, fertility acupuncture can be a valuable addition. Studies have suggested that acupuncture performed before and after embryo transfer during IVF may increase the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy. Acupuncture may help by improving blood flow to the uterus, reducing uterine contractions, and supporting embryo development.
5. Whole body wellbeing Fertility acupuncture is not just about addressing infertility, the goal is to improve overall health and wellbeing. Traditional Chinese medicine considers the person as a whole (a sum of all their ailments, rather than seeing them as individual problems), and so aims to work on the whole being to improve fertility. By promoting overall wellness, acupuncture may optimize the chances of conception and support a healthy pregnancy.
