Having a child should not be a frustrating task. With the incredible costs of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the uneasiness of fertility pills, many couples are searching for an affordable, less evasive, and more natural way of bringing a child into this world.
However, a couple in Edmonton discovered one alternative medicine that could aid them in creating a baby in a more natural way: acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
Acupuncture is used to increase fertility the same way it is used to assist other common ailments. Here is a synopsis of how acupuncture can treat infertility from the American Pregnancy Association:
Acupuncture, frequently combined with herbal medicine, has been used for centuries to treat some causes of infertility. For example, acupuncture and herbs will not work to address tubal adhesions which can occur as a result of pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. However, in this situation, an individual could still benefit from acupuncture and herbs because of the potential effect of improved ovarian and follicular function. Additionally, it is shown that acupuncture can increase blood flow to the endometrium, helping to facilitate a thick, rich lining.
