Fertility treatments we offer
Venerable fertility support
Acupuncture has become widely accepted as an important component of fertility enhancement and infertility treatment. Texts dated as far back as 200BC describe utilizing Chinese herbal medicine to treat infertility. In addition to acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, lifestyle choices play an important role in restoring balance and improving the likelihood of conceiving and carrying to term a healthy child. Important lifestyle factors that are typically discussed during an acupuncture treatment include: diet, stress reduction, exercise, and sleep quality.
Chinese medicine enhances fertility by thickening insufficient uterine lining; regulating hormones and ovulation; improving ovarian function; improving sperm count, motility, and quality.
For optimal benefits, we generally recommend utilizing Chinese medicine for at least three months of preconception care as well as supportive treatments post-conception.
