Acupuncture for Fertility

Acupuncture for fertility offers a natural, holistic approach to enhancing reproductive health and increasing your chances of conception. By targeting specific points on the body, this treatment helps regulate hormones, improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, and reduce stress.

IVF Enhancement

A notable study in Germany found that patients undergoing IVF treatments who also received acupuncture increased their pregnancy rates to 42%, compared to 26% in those who did not use acupuncture.


Herbal Medicine Combination

Combining Chinese herbal medicine with acupuncture and IVF treatments resulted in a 60% success rate. These treatments also notably lowered the risk of miscarriage.

Ultrasound Observations

Ultrasound studies showed that acupuncture treatments could improve the health of ovaries, double the number of follicles, thicken the lining of the uterus, and increase embryo counts. Patients experienced fewer side effects and felt more relaxed.

Benefits for Male Fertility

Studies on male patients have shown significant improvements in semen quality and sperm count after receiving acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments. Additionally, these patients reported enhanced sexual health.

Endorphin Release

Research has demonstrated that acupuncture triggers endorphin production, which not only reduces anxiety but may also help strengthen reproductive functions.
