Trying to Conceive: How Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and Bodywork Support Fertility — Naturally and Alongside IVF
Quick answer: Acupuncture, individualized Chinese herbal medicine, and skilled bodywork can support fertility by regulating the menstrual cycle, improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, lowering the stress load that suppresses ovulation, and addressing root-cause conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid dysfunction, and hypothalamic amenorrhea. These therapies work well on their own for couples trying to conceive naturally, and they work well alongside IUI and IVF — most of our ART patients use both.
