Natural Fertility

Acupuncture can help women and men achieve a natural pregnancy by improving general health. 30% of all failures to conceive are often described as ‘unexplained.’ Chinese medicine can often identify and effectively treat these unexplained causes because it looks at the person as a whole and by balancing hormones, improving blood flow to the uterus and pelvic area, as well as reducing stress it can often avoid the need to resort to more invasive medical intervention. It also treats specific medical conditions that might affect your fertility.

During the initial treamtment your diet, lifestyle and work-life balance are all discussed; sometimes making some small but important changes in these areas will make a significant difference to your fertility.
