Acupuncture For Infertility

Acupuncture is a procudure in which fine needles are inserted into and manipulated at more than 365 points in the body. It has been said that acupuncture can help with fertility in a number of ways:

• reduces stress hormones that interfere with ovulation
• increases blood flow to reproductive organs and glands
• increases levels of endorphins; the body's natural 'feel good hormones'
• stimulates and normalizes hormone production to promote a balanced endocrine system that allows for more efficient ovulation and fertilization
• improves quality of eggs released by ovaries
• enhances the uterine lining so the embryo can implant itself successfully and receive proper nutrients
• enhances the quality of cervical mucus
• improves pregnancy rates in women undergoing In Vitro Fertilization
