Fertility Treatment
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treats patients holistically
through the use of herbs and meridian energy work. Clinical research
has demonstrated the effectiveness of TCM in the treatment of
infertility.
The goals of our fertility treatment plans are five-fold:
- Regulate the menses, and minimize any PMS, by regulating the liver qi and blood, eliminating blood stagnation, establishing a proper basal body temperature, warming and energizing the uterus, and eliminating pain.
- Enhance the endocrine system and hormonal balance, utilizing the power of the acupuncture (meridian) network, facilitate communication in the hormonal feedback system, along the hypothalamic--pituitary – ovarian axis. Thereby, also, regulate ovulation and maintain a sufficient luteal phase.
- Acupuncture stimulation and herbal supplements to replenish the kidney essence, increase the flow of abundant blood to the various systems, including to the uterus, thus increasing the chances of ovum implantation, while thinning the endometrial linings and regulating the beneficial cervical fluid.
- Strengthening the immune system, increasing libido, improving motility, mobility and quantity of sperm, promoting relaxation, detoxifying the body and enhancing the secretion of endorphins.
- Provide ongoing service, on an on-call basis, to patients, especially those undergoing IVF or IUI interventions. Follow patients' biological clocks and collaborate with reproductive endocrinologists’ procedure schedules, accordingly providing treatments with various modalities suited to promote successful conception.
