Chinese Medicine
Every month
more than 7 million U.S. couples experience infertility, however only a small
percentage of women are actually infertile. According to Chinese Medicine,
most women having difficulty conceiving are simply imbalanced. Because
of this, Skylands Acupuncture, A Center for Women's Natural Health and Reproduction
has developed an effective all-natural treatment program to help women achieve
not only pregnancy, but a healthy baby delivered at full term.
Chinese Medicine
has been treating infertility since the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - 24 A.D.). Assisted
Reproductive Technology on the other hand is in its infancy stage. Currently,
Chinese Medicine both in China and America are used in conjunction with Western
Assisted Reproductive techniques to enhance fertility.
A recent study
conducted in Germany showed Acupuncture may increase In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
success by 40 - 60%.
The following
are ways in which Chinese Medicine can enhance fertility.
- Assists in normalizing
hormones to increase the number of follicles.
- Improves ovarian function
to produce better quality eggs.
- Increases blood flow to
the uterus and increases uterine thickness.
- Reduces side effects of
assisted reproductive hormonal treatments.
- Lessens stress and enhances
relaxation.
- Strengthens the body's
immune system.
- Improves sperm count,
motility and morphology.
- Diminishes the chance
of miscarriage.
- Decreases uterine contractibility
for implantation.
