There has been much advancement in medicine regarding treatment of infertility in the past 40 years. Since the amazing accomplishment of the first test-tube baby in 1978, many people have been able to conceive children who would never have been able to have children in the past. It is easy to think that modern scientific methods are the only ways to help treat infertility issues. However, more and more couples are turning to the ancient treatment of acupuncture to address their infertility issues.
Acupuncture Zen in Delray Beach
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical treatment based on the concept of “Qi” (pronounced /chi/). In acupuncture, tiny, painless needles are used to activate energy points in specific locations on the body. By stimulating these points, the energy flow of the body is re-energized and any blockages to the flow are corrected. As a result, the body is able to work better, which leads to better health in all areas, including fertility.
Although acupuncture is an ancient treatment with thousands of years of anecdotal proof of its effectiveness, modern research has also demonstrated the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating infertility. Additionally, correcting the body’s energy flows to allow for ovulation as acupuncture does only causes one egg to be produced at a time. For couples wanting to avoid the dangers of a multiple pregnancies as well as the side effects of many medicines, using acupuncture is a natural health remedy effective for the treatment of their infertility.
Not only is acupuncture effective in helping women who have difficulty ovulating, but it can also be helpful in assisting the successfulness of in-vitro fertilization procedures. In a German study, in 2002 Fertility and Sterility study found acupuncture boosted embryo implantation rates to 42% versus 26% without it. Adding acupuncture to costly, stressful IVF treatments enhances success rates for couples facing infertility. Moreover, acupuncture aids male infertility, as recent studies confirm practitioners’ long-held knowledge.
The research shows that Acupuncture significantly boosts sperm count in men with unexplained infertility. It also enhances sperm quality, improving motility and morphology. Additionally, acupuncture increases libido in both men and women. For couples facing infertility, acupuncture reduces stress from tracking cycles, taking temperatures, and enduring negative pregnancy tests. It also eases the burden of costly medical treatments. Regular acupuncture sessions energize and balance both partners, naturally relieving stress. Consulting an infertility-specialized acupuncturist is a smart choice.
