Fertility – Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine

By Dr. Pamela D’Alberto, BSc(Hons) TCM MBAcC MATCM

Why should you consider acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine when trying to conceive, either for the first time pregnancy or future ones?

I hope in this blog that I can explain why these treatments are so effective and so widely used in private fertility clinics.

As we grow older our bodies become more deficient and by this I mean you have less energy and your body is gradually ageing.

Most of the time we do not feel the effects of this until much later in life however, if you want a baby then things are very different.

What is deficiency in the body?
Because women have periods and loose blood on a fairly regular basis they can become blood deficient. Yes, you still have 8 pints in the body but the quality is not so good.

Qi or energy deficiency is due to ageing but also, to the hectic lifestyles that most women and men lead. Both blood and Qi deficiency can lead to fertility issues.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine have been clinically proven to increase or maintain the women lining and to actually improve sperm and egg quality.

I will be writing weekly on how Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine could aid fertility. Using clinical studies to provide evidence based validation. Covering specific areas that are commonly associated with infertility and a depletion of energy in the body.
