Natural Fertility Help Brisbane
How can you help your Natural Fertility?
What role can acupuncture play when couples are looking for natural fertility help?
Well, our aim is to help you fall pregnant, right? Yes it is, but our aim is really to bring your body into balance from a TCM ( Traditional Chinese Medicine ) perspective – this means ensuring your menstrual cycle is regular, your stress is manageable and your knowledge on ‘self-care’ is adequate ie. does this person know about the kind of things that may help keep themselves healthy, and thus keep their fertility as vital as possible?
The path to increasing your natural fertility
So the path is about small victories along the way as we help increase your natural fertility. We always talk about your health using the language of Chinese Medicine – Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang. What we aim to do is to balance these things so that your cycles are regular and relatively pain-free, your mood is good and that there is an ample supply of blood to the reproductive organs.
For him, it’s also about balance – encouraging healthy habits and using supplements where appropriate to promote optimal health.
What Effects does Acupuncture have on my fertility?
So what effects are the acupuncture and herbs having? In brief, there are a few hypotheses regarding how acupuncture and Chinese medicine may support natural fertility help:
– improving ovarian function and blood flow to produce better quality eggs (1,2)
– increasing blood flow to the uterus and increasing the thickness of the lining (3,4)
– relaxing the patient and decreasing stress (5,6)
– improving semen quality and quantity (7,8)
– decreasing the chance of miscarriage by helping to treat underlying issues such as endometriosis (9,10).
Our Approach:
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have been used in Women’s health for many years – over 1000 at least! We listen to our patients, assess them from a TCM point of view, and use acupuncture and herbs to bring the ‘person’ back into a more healthy state. This is how we approach increasing your natural fertility.
Do we use Treatment Plans?
Yes! Our treatment plans will always aim at helping to address any annoying symptoms you may have such as migraines or low back pain, whilst all the while keeping an eye on your menstrual cycle ( the barometer of Women’s health in TCM ). Again, we talk about these things in terms of rebalancing your vital energy – your Yin and your Yang. You might find that you come to understand your symptoms in a more relatable way when you think about them in these terms.
