Acupuncture And
Overcome Infertility with Chinese Medicine
A lot of women are tired of the drugs pushed by their doctors – and the side effects that come along with the drugs. They’re looking for alternatives to drugs and expensive medical procedures (that may not even work!)
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a great place to look for help getting pregnant. Chinese medicine doctors don’t take the same approach as Western doctors – and Chinese medicine approach is very effective.
A Western doctor just looks at the symptoms – you’re not ovulating so he prescribes Clomid. Or worse, you’re not getting pregnant, so he recommends IUI, or even IVF. They don’t really look what else is going on. They may give some lip service “watch your diet, reduce stress, have a healthy lifestyle.” But that’s it.
A Chinese Medicine doctor is going to do things differently. She takes a look at your overall health. She’s going to have you come in and work through some surveys. She’s going to ask you how you feel mentally and emotionally – in addition to physically. She’ll completely profile your health.
Once she’s done that she can see what systems in your body are working well, and which ones are not. Your fertility is not an isolated thing. If your organ systems are not working guess what… you’re not going to get pregnant!
Now how does she treat you once she’s found out what’s wrong? (Don’t worry if you can’t go to a Chinese Medicine doctor… I’ll share a resource you can use to determine good Chinese Medicine treatments below) She may recommend some lifestyle changes – reducing stress and exercising are good things and Chinese Medicine is aware of that.
She may recommend specific foods to you. There are foods that can strengthen your organs and body and boost your fertility. What foods you need depend on your own body. You’ll know exactly what those are.
You’ll also use some traditional fertility herbs, and herbs that balance other parts of the body. Chinese fertility herbs work with your menstrual cycle. You’re not often on any one herb for a long period of time, so you don’t need to worry about getting too much. You take certain herbs during specific times in your cycle to boost your fertility and correct imbalances in your body.
You could have other techniques recommended to you, as well – acupuncture and acupressure are two very effective methods used by Chinese medicine. Even Western doctors are admitting that studies show these techniques are very effective in helping you get pregnant. If needles worry you acupressure is effective, too, and you can even learn to do it at home.
If you’re trying to get pregnant and you haven’t had success, Chinese medicine is an approach to consider. It will not only boost your fertility – it will enhance your health.

Chinese Medicine – Finding The Right Cures
Not only is Chinese medicine known to help cure common ailments, but it is now being proven that they are working towards finding alternatives in other ways. There are several that are turning towards Chinese medicine to help alternate things such as obesity, smoking and addiction to hard drugs. This is not only a continuation of Chinese medicine, but is also an increase in evidence of the effectiveness of this alternative.
One of the proven effects of Chinese medicine comes from recent research done by a variety of acupuncturists. In this particular study, acupuncture practitioners conducted acupuncture on those who were suffering from obesity and addiction. It was found that there were direct results by refocusing the energy of the person by using specific acupuncture points.
The major change that occurred with the acupuncture is that the chemical of endorphin, which is usually a response to addiction, began to flow differently. This occurred because there were direct pressure points used in the acupuncture that linked to the nervous system. The areas of this nervous system are the ones that carry the endorphins, telling your body that it needs certain things and responds to addictions.
Not only are acupuncturists working with those that are addicted in order to open up channels for releasing endorphins into a different direction, but they are also finding ways to use acupuncture in direct areas for the addictions. Ear acupuncture is one of the most well known ways to change the imbalance of endorphins and is done by stimulating specific nerves in the ears, which causes an increase in endorphins and releases the chemical stimulants to stop addictions.
If you are suffering from an addiction, you can try using acupuncture and ancient Chinese medicine in order to help find a cure. Most likely, your body is telling you to release specific chemicals that cause the addiction. By using holistic methods, you can begin to reverse this process and work towards a well-balanced alternative towards your health.

Educate Yourself About Acupuncture And Chinese Medicine
Many Western medical practitioners are baffled by how acupuncture works and therefore dispute its validity. However, there are several theories about why acupuncture and Chinese medicine is, in fact, successful at curing certain illnesses. In the “Gate Control” theory, it’s believed that slow-moving pain signals follow the body’s internal highway.
By applying the needle, we can generate endorphins that move much quicker and push the pain signals out of the way. Because the slow pain is blocked in the pushing and shoving of signals, the pain sensation never actually reaches the brain.
Another Chinese theory is called the “Electrical” theory, which says that the body is always discharging slight magnetic energy and that Chinese acupuncture actually works by manipulating the body’s electromagnetic fields, altering chemical neurotransmitters in the process. In 1999, British doctors found that collagen was a good conductor of electricity — and Dr. Mae Won Ho concluded that “the kind of conducting water channels that more or less follow the collagen fibres may correspond to the so-called meridians of the acupuncture channels. So when you put a needle in you are giving a local electrical stimulation which then enables this positive electricity to be conducted to some distant sites.”
A person’s reaction to acupuncture and Chinese medicine is purely personal. Some people feel minimal to no pain as the needles go in, while some feel sore. Chinese acupuncture invigorates some patients and calms others. Many patients come back for more than one treatment over time and find that it gets easier and easier.
If they’re feeling a little bit of discomfort during a particular session, then they’ll know they’ve pushed themselves too hard that week. If we all just slowed down and took a moment, we’d be in much better shape – both mentally and physically.
