Fertility Acupuncture

What is fertility acupuncture?

Fertility acupuncture is a specialised branch of acupuncture focused on supporting individuals and couples on their journey to conception. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this natural and holistic approach works to optimise reproductive health by addressing underlying imbalances in the body and promoting overall well-being.

How does fertility acupuncture work?

Fertility acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow (Qi), enhance circulation, and regulate hormonal balance. This creates an environment that supports reproductive health and increases the likelihood of conception, whether naturally or in conjunction with assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as IVF or IUI.

Benefits of fertility acupunture

  • Acupuncture helps regulate hormones, supporting a healthy menstrual cycle, ovulation, and the overall reproductive system.

  • By increasing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, acupuncture enhances the quality of the uterine lining and improves ovarian function, creating an optimal environment for implantation.

  • Stress can have a significant impact on fertility. Acupuncture promotes relaxation and helps regulate the body's stress response, creating a calmer, more balanced state that supports conception.

  • Acupuncture is a powerful complement to fertility treatments. It can improve the success rates of IVF and IUI by enhancing egg quality, improving uterine receptivity, and reducing the side effects of medication.

  • Fertility acupuncture also benefits male partners by improving sperm quality, motility, and overall reproductive health.

  • Acupuncture can help manage conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or unexplained infertility by restoring balance to the body.

  • The journey to parenthood can be emotionally challenging. Fertility acupuncture not only addresses physical health but also provides emotional relief, helping individuals and couples feel more supported and empowered.
