Chinese medicine recognises that fertility is a complex process influenced by many factors — physical, emotional, and energetic
Acupuncture has been used for centuries to support women’s reproductive health, including menstruation, fertility, and pregnancy.
In modern practice, acupuncture is often used by couples trying to conceive naturally, and alongside assisted fertility treatments. Some clinical research suggests that having acupuncture before, during, and after fertility procedures may be beneficial.
How acupuncture may help...
Acupuncture is thought to support fertility and reproductive health by:
Helping to regulate hormones and the menstrual cycle
Promoting healthy blood flow to the reproductive organs
Encouraging relaxation and helping to reduce stress
Many people find that acupuncture for fertility also provides a sense of balance and calm during what can be a physically and emotionally demanding time.
Supporting general reproductive health and wellbeing
Acupuncture can also be used to help optimise general health and wellbeing for parents wishing to conceive. For people wanting to become pregnant, approaches can be tailored around the menstrual cycle and overall health to help support the body’s natural rhythms.
