Natural fertility is what everyone would like to have. When the time is right to reproduce most people would like just make love and have babies. Unfortunately for millions of people it is not that simple. No matter how many times they try these unlucky couples are unable to conceive a child. This is not a new problem. For thousands of years people from cultures the world over have had to deal with infertility. Most cultures use some combination of prayers, herbal medicine and special sexual positions to help the couple to conceive. One method that has had remarkable success in helping people to reproduce is acupuncture.
Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that utilizes needles to release, encourage or enhance the flow of energy to allow healing to take place. This practice originated in China hundreds of years ago and has spread throughout the Far East. These days acupuncture is also practiced in Europe and the Americas. Acupuncture has been used to cure a variety of ailments including infertility. Often it is used in concert with other aspects of Chinese medicine, but sometimes acupuncture alone has been able to bring about almost miraculous success in healing a number of ailments.
Infertility is one of the medical problems acupuncture practitioners have had success treating. Using thin metal needles to manipulate the meridians, acupuncturists have been able to treat both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism help women regain their natural fertility. Acupuncture has also been shown to improve ovarian and follicular function and increase the flow of blood into the endometrium. This has helped many women who were infertile to conceive and give birth. It has also helped to increase the success rate of couples using in vitro fertilization. When women receive acupuncture treatments for a few months before in vitro fertilization treatments begin the success rate of the procedure increases dramatically.
The use of acupuncture should not stop at conception. Miscarriages typically take place within the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. Studies suggest continuing to receive acupuncture treatment for at least three months after conception or embryo transfer with in vitro fertilization has shown the ability to cut down on the number of miscarriages. It is very important the acupuncture be carried out by a trained, experienced acupuncturist. Post conceptions there are at least 6 acupuncture points that must be avoided. A licensed, skilled acupuncturist will know when and why these areas are to be avoided.
Several types of infertility problems can be treated with acupuncture. Whether the cause of infertility is spasmed tubes, idiopathic infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome, elevated follicle stimulating hormone, luteal phase defect or many others acupuncture with or without the use of other aspects of traditional Chinese medicine can aid in the return of fertility. Even men who suffer with sperm-DNA fragmentation can benefit from acupuncture. The effectiveness of acupuncture on so diverse a group of infertility problems is just short of miraculous. It reveals a deep understanding of the forces in the body and how their manipulation can lead to healing.
Acupuncture is no magical treatment. It is based on a solid and ancient understanding of the forces which control and energize the body and its reproductive system. Many factors affect fertility. Age, overall health and many other factors play a role in a woman and a man's ability to reproduce. Acupuncture has proven to be an effective way to address these issues and help to create the conditions in the body that makes conception possible. People the world over have now embraced acupuncture and have begun their own investigations into the reasons for its wide ranging success.
