When many people think about acupuncture, they think about back pain or stress relief, and are surprised to learn that Chinese medicine excels for many other health concerns, including women’s health and fertility. In fact, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are far more effective for reproductive health than anything western medicine has to offer, and with no side effects.
Western medicine’s go-to treatment for virtually all women’s health issues is hormonal birth control. This sometimes does alleviate symptoms in the short term but causes more health problems in the long run, without addressing any of the underlying issues.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are extremely effective for balancing hormones, regulating the menstrual cycle, receiving painful periods, dissolving cysts, fibroids and other pathological growth (treating PCOS, endometriosis, and similar conditions), relieving breast pain, clearing hormone-related acne, relieving pre-menstrual tension an emotional states, and relieving menopausal and peri-menopausal symptoms such as low libido, hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia. Chinese medicine is also a wonderful ancillary treatment for breast cancer.
Chinese medicine is also very effective for men’s reproductive health issues such as ED, PE, men’s infertility issues, and prostate inflammation.
Many couples who struggle with fertility turn to IUI and IVF, hoping these procedures will be the answer to their prayers. While there’s certainly a place for this, none of these conventional treatments are equipped to treat the underlying issues that might prevent conception or the ability to hold a pregnancy to term. Chinese medicine treats infertility issues from the root, and for a fraction of the price.
