Boost Your Fertility Naturally
Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine provide holistic support for fertility. You can benefit from treatments if you are having trouble getting pregnant, have had pregnancy loss or complications, or haven’t even started trying to conceive.
In East Asian Medicine we believe it’s important to “fertilize the soil before planting the seed.” We encourage patients to take 3 months before trying to conceive to create a healthy foundation for pregnancy which may include acupuncture, healthy dietary changes, and supplements or herbs.
If you are actively trying to conceive, acupuncture and East Asian Medicine can help increase your chances to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy.
My office is a welcoming place for all forming families including solo parents and l/g/b/t/q families.
Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine for Fertility
I offer fertility consultations and treatments for individuals and couples. We discuss the healthiest ways to boost fertility and prepare your body for pregnancy.
We review your current health and health history (and if available, any recent blood tests) to come up with individualized recommendations based on balancing your body naturally. For couples, we review the health of both partners and identify specific recommendations to support each partner.
From our consultation, I will recommend a treatment plan that includes:
- acupuncture and East Asian Medicine
- customized herbal formulas (if appropriate. If you are undergoing assisted reproductive treatments, we typically do not use herbs with IVF or IUI cycles based on your fertility clinic’s recommendations.)
- guidance on the best nutritional supplements for fertility and pregnancy
- guidance on fertility-boosting foods
- recommendations for wellness practices to boost fertility
Acupuncture for Assisted Reproductive Technology
Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine can boost your reproductive procedures. Research has shown that acupuncture is safe and effective to improve IUI and IVF/FET outcomes. Using research-based protocols, I treat patients before and after fertility procedures to increase your chances of success.
Acupuncture:
- improves the quality and thickness of the uterine lining
- increases blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
- decreases chance of miscarriage
- reduces the side effects of medications
- reduces stress
Male Fertility Support
A healthy pregnancy involves the health of both partners, so I encourage men to support their fertility health by coming in for regular acupuncture treatments.
Chinese Medicine is effective in helping men improve their reproductive health and address fertility issues.
