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

Fertility begins in the mind and is highly reliant on a state of perfect balance within the body, signaling that it is safe to have a baby. Stress, irregular menstrual cycles, or other health problems have a critical impact on this, and acupuncture can help to realign your bodily systems from a holistic perspective.
