Does acupuncture really help fertility?
How it works
Acupuncture uses extremely fine needles that stimulate specific points to redirect blood flow, as well as neural, chemical and hormonal signals. The redirection of energy known as qi (pronounced chi) also restores optimal functions of the body. It works in a physiological way to create an environment that allows your body to naturally heal itself, without synthetic drugs or surgery.
Impact on fertility
Example of treatment
The Endocrine System
The endocrine system consists of a complex network of glands and organs. It utilises hormones to regulate various bodily functions such as metabolism, energy levels, reproduction, growth and development, as well as your response to injury, stress, and mood changes. It may have a connection to your fertility.
May reduce stress
Stress may lead to the release of cortisol, potentially affecting the hormonal balance crucial for the reproductive cycle
Balance hormones
Acupuncture aims to have a stabilising influence on various bodily systems, including reproductive hormones
Nervous system regulation
Acupuncture may assist in facilitating normal communication between the pituitary gland and ovaries.
Example of treatment
The Endocrine System
Reduce stress
Stress releases cortisol, which changes the hormonal balance that is key to the reproductive cycle
Balance hormones
Regulates nervous system
Example of treatment
The Meridian System
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a meridian, also known as Jing Lou, serves as a conduit for the flow of qi and energy. These pathways have various names, including acupuncture meridians, acupoints, and energy vessels. While meridians are conceptually akin to the circulatory system, they are not visible to the naked eye.
