How does acupuncture help treat infertility?
Acupuncture affects the central nervous system to regulate the pituitary and the hormonal system. Acupuncture also promotes circulation of blood and energy throughout your body, especially to the reproductive organs (ovaries, uterus, and testicles) which is extremely important to help you conceive. Some manifestations of poor blood and energy flow are: premenstrual symptoms, ovulatory pain, endometriosis, blocked tubes, fibroids, clotting in the menstrual blood, headaches associated with your cycle, high FSH levels, and suboptimal sperm analysis. While the above signs and symptoms in and of themselves will not necessarily be the primary cause of your inability to conceive, they do reveal internal blockages of energy and blood which may contribute to infertility.
