Why can acupuncture help support fertility?

Acupuncture stimulates the reproductive system, regulating the blood supply to the uterus, ovaries, testes, improving the menstrual cycle, nourishing and improving the quality of the ova, endometrium, quality and number of sperm. Acupuncture also promotes emotional balance, alleviating the tension, fears, anxiety that often accompany the experience of infertility.

How to increase the chance of pregnancy?

Chinese medicine looks at the body as a whole and the aim of acupuncture therapy is to restore the energy balance in the body and stimulate it to function properly. By stimulating the relevant energy channels, acupuncture will help to regulate the endocrine system, improve ovarian function or sperm production. Not to be overlooked is also the important emotional area, which is exposed to many challenges during prolonged efforts to have offspring, and balancing it is one important factor. Acupuncture will help to let go of accumulated emotions and harmonise them.

What helps you get pregnant?

Good quality blood

Good blood quality and a smooth flow of blood and energy in the body have a significant impact when you are trying to get pregnant. Particularly in women where warmth within the reproductive organs is vital. The pelvic area must not be exposed to the cold, as this will cool the uterus and restrict the flow of energy and blood to the reproductive organs. Therefore, the lower abdomen and loins must be protected from the cold, and circulation can be further promoted with acupuncture.

Good emotions

Accumulated and retained emotions cause tension in the body, and then the circulation of energy is disrupted. This makes it all the more important, when trying to have a baby, to take care of the flow, preferably of the good emotions.
