  1. The Role of Acupuncture in Supporting Fertility and IVF Success Acupuncture for fertility, an ancient Chinese healing practice, has been gaining recognition for its potential to enhance reproductive health and improve the success rates of In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatments. By addressing imbalances in the body’s natural energy flow, acupuncture helps regulate hormones, reduce stress, and promote optimal blood flow to reproductive organs. This holistic approach creates ideal conditions for conception and supports a healthy pregnancy, offering a natural complement to both assisted and natural fertility journeys.

  4. How Acupuncture Can Improve Fertility Regulating Hormones Acupuncture can help balance hormones, such as follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are crucial for fertility. Enhancing Blood Flow Increased blood flow to the reproductive organs can improve the quality and quantity of eggs and sperm, as well as the uterine lining.

Addressing Underlying Conditions Acupuncture can help treat underlying conditions, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis, that can contribute to infertility.
