Chinese Medicine has been practiced and studied for over 3,000 years with proven treatments for enhancing fertility, balancing hormones in menopause, as well as overall, optimal health. Your fertility doctor may not find any laboratory abnormality or medical reason for your inability to conceive. This does not necessarily mean that fertility drugs or surgical procedures are needed. 

Chinese Medicine is beneficial for: 

Regulate menstrual cycle  PMS  Endometriosis  Menopausal symptoms  Enhance fertility  Certain causes of miscarriage  Increase libido  Raise sperm numbers, quality and motility  Prostate health  Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)  Cancer therapy support  Ease labor and delivery  Mastitis  Post-partum depression  Lactation difficulties  Chronic yeast infections/UTI

Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART), while integrating Chinese Medicine and acupuncture techniques, can improve the outcome by improving ovarian response and uterine receptivity to implantation. Medical research has proven that incorporating Chinese medicine for infertility together with ART produces higher pregnancy rates that ART alone. 

Herbal medicine can help you balance your endocrine system and hormones by the actions of supportive and harmonizing formulas, which meet your specific needs. An herbal formula will be chosen for you by incorporating your past medical history based on an integrative perspective, your present symptoms and your Chinese Medicine diagnosis. 

Each part of your menstrual cycle is a dynamic period of time that can be balanced and enhanced by using different herbal formulas (follicular, ovulation, luteal, and menstrual phases) – it is not uncommon to have 1-3 different herbal formulas during the cycle for your optimal physiologic response. 

It takes at least three cycles to normalize a woman's cycle – and for the body to produce a healthy ovum. Also, it takes 70 days to generate new sperm in a man. A 3-month commitment to treatment is recommended for the best outcome.

Acupuncture techniques can harmonize imbalances in the endocrine system that can affect pregnancy outcomes – for women and men. Stress, auto immune responses, chronic illnesses, fatigue and blood sugar imbalances can have a big impact on hormonal response and the endocrine system. 

Certain acupuncture meridians influence the kidneys and adrenal glands as well as the communication between the thyroid, pituitary and reproductive organs. Research has shown that acupuncture influences these hormonal pathways, and assists our own energy to restore overall harmony in our body, mind and spirit. 

With regular treatments with Chinese Medicine, we are able to turn back the reproductive clock. Your body will be gently placed back in balance, able to communicate internally again.
