Acupucture treating fertility

Imaging yourself walking into a calm room, with wafting smells of incense, spending time with a practitioner who actually listens to you for more than five minutes.  

All aspects of your treatment are explained to you in detail.  You then lie peacefully on a massage table.  Fine needles, maybe as few as eight are inserted at specific points with care and NO PAIN.  The lights are dimmed and you a left to relax and de-stress for twenty minutes.  Leaving the appointment feeling nurtured, listened to and confident of your road to fertility.

A standard definition of infertility is: "failure to achieve conception after a year or more of regular sexual activity with no contraceptive use." Infertility is also the inability to carry a pregnancy to full term.
 
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for 5000 years successfully treating infertility and many other obstetric disorders. Seventy percent of one quarter of the world’s population uses Traditional Chinese Medicine as their main form of health care.  It works quite differently than western medicines.  It is gentle and deep acting rather than flashy and bright.  Expect o feel a growing subtle influence that permeates through your life.
 
TCM is often helpful in treating infertility when conventional medicine is not able explain why you can’t conceive; the term used is “unexplained infertility” or “functional infertility”. While infertility may appear to be the core problem, it is actually the manifestation of a deeper underlying imbalance of your organ system.
 
In Chinese medical theory, the Kidney is the internal organ, which is responsible for reproduction, growth, and aging. When Kidney energy is insufficient to support normal growth and development, or becomes depleted by lifestyle factors such as poor diet, overwork, or excessive sexual activity, many health problems can result, including infertility. Kidney Deficiency is the most common cause of infertility. Other patterns that can result in infertility are Liver Qi Stagnation, Blood Stasis or Deficiency, and Dampness with Phlegm or Heat. In Western terms, Chinese medicine has a high success rate with functional infertility, which results from factors such as hormone imbalances, endocrine gland disorders, and emotional problems. Chinese medicine can also significantly improve some structural infertility problems, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, polycystic ovary disease, tubal function, scar tissue and adhesions, vaginitis, ovary dysfunction.
