Your fertility dictates whether you’ll be able to become pregnant or impregnate someone else. If you and your partner are attempting to get pregnant but a pregnancy has not yet happened, one or both of you may be experiencing infertility.

The team at Heaven & Earth Acupuncture has specialized in fertility for years. They incorporate Western medicine into fertility plans alongside long standing traditional Chinese medicine techniques, alternative therapies, and lifestyle changes. The team frequently works with people going through intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments.

How does alternative medicine improve fertility?

Heaven & Earth Acupuncture can increase your fertility or your partner’s fertility, which boosts your likelihood of having a baby. Fertility treatments for women can work in one or more of these ways:

• Increasing uterine blood flow
• Improving ovary function
• Regulating hormones
• Relieving stress
• Improving egg quality and quantity
• Reducing side effects of IVF (e.g. night sweats, hot flashes)
• Preventing miscarriage

Fertility treatments for men have other benefits. Heaven & Earth Acupuncture provides fertility treatments that can improve sperm count, quality, or motility. Some wellness treatments can also address erectile dysfunction in men.

Which treatments improve fertility?

Heaven & Earth Acupuncture offers several treatment options to increase fertility, whether or not you’re already using medical assistance like IUI or IVF. During your consultation, the team recommends fertility-improving treatments like:

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a wellness therapy that balances energy flow through your body. Fine needles penetrate your skin at pressure points to restore the flow of energy. Acupuncture can treat low sperm count from scrotal hypothermia and can increase your fertility rate by 60% during embryo transfer.

Vaginal steam

Vaginal steam can involve either pure steam or steam infused with herbs. It has many potential wellness benefits, including increased fertility and hormone balancing. 

Nutrition

A nutritious diet improves your health and function in many ways. The team helps you avoid foods that compromise your fertility while centering fertility-promoting nutrients. The team may also recommend beneficial herbal supplements to add to your plan.
