Increase Fertility with Acupuncture. There are many reasons why couples have difficulty conceiving - irregular menstruation, hormone imbalance, cold uterus, and low sperm count to name a few. Whatever the reason infertility can be a major cause of stress and hopelessness in otherwise healthy couples. Acupuncture combined with herbal medicine has been used for centuries to treat the causes of infertility. Acupuncture in particular has been known to dramatically increase fertility by regulating the menstrual cycle in females and invigorating and increasing sperm count in males. A German Study conducted in 2002 used two groups of women experiencing fertility difficulties, to determine the effects of acupuncture on IVF treatments. In the first group, acupuncture treatments were carried out 25 minutes before embryo transfer and 25 minutes after the embryo was inserted into the uterus. In the second group, no acupuncture treatments were given. Study findings showed a successful pregnancy rate of 42.5% in the first group of women compared to 26.3% in the second group that had no acupuncture treatments. This highlighted a significant difference of 16.2% between the two groups of women. In each Care Cure clinic, we look for the underlying problem of disharmony which is preventing conception.

The Chinese healing art of acupuncture originates from China 2500 years ago. Now it has become a complete medical and care system using which to encourage the body to promote natural healing and improve function. This approach is proven to be an effective way to maintain good health and to resolve new or lingering health concerns. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine and sterilized needles into specific points along the meridian channels to achieve a therapeutic effect. Each treatment is tailored which means different Acu-points will be chosen for patients’ benefit. It will stimulate and regulate the flow of the vital Qi (energy) of the body which is, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the universal force of keeping the balance of the system and restore health. From western medicine point of view, through needling, acupuncture can stimulate the nerve system and activate “endorphin” in our system so as to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions to relieve pain and to ease symptoms. The aim of acupuncture is to correct imbalance of the Qi and to recover physical, emotional and spiritual equilibrium.

Infertility is the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected intercourse in women under 35, or after six months in women over 35, or the inability to carry a pregnancy to term. Couples who have known bariiers to feritlity, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, male factor infertility, irregular cycles etc., do not need to sit out the traditional "waiting period" to seek expert care for infertility. Herbs have been used to promote infertility for thousands of years and can be considered to be a form of natual fertility medication. It is especailly helpful if there is a scaring of the fallopian tubes, irregular menses, abnormal cells in the reproductive tract, or "unexplained" infertility. It may take several months for the full effect of this herb to come on and pregnancy may not occur until you have used it for a year or two. Men and Women with infertility would be encourage to try acupuncture in addition to their standard medical treatment aasd well.

Electro-acupuncture is the term used to refer to the application of a pulsating electrical current to acupuncture needles, or even without needles, to acupuncture points on the body. This Oriental medicine technique was developed in China in the 1930's, and though it is a fairly recent development in the ancient method of acupuncture, the idea behind it corresponds directly with long-held beliefs. Acupuncture operates on the idea that a person's qi, or life force, runs through body along certain meridians, and that specific points on the body correspond with these meridians. When these points are ‘activated' or stimulated by touch, specific complaints of chronic pain or illnesses can be alleviated. Using a gentle electrical current in conjunction with, or instead of, acupuncture needles, is an alternative way to stimulate the point and enhance the qi.
