In China, infertility has been treated
for thousands of years through a combination of therapies
that addressed the whole person rather than their reproductive
system in isolation. This "wholistic" view
meant that physical, mental and emotional elements of
a person's profile needed to be addressed to achieve
maximum results.
In today's modern world, Western sciences are identifying
more and more useful ways to integrate these Eastern
practices to increase the potential for successful conception
in infertile women. One of the most important findings
within the past 10 years was the Swedish study that
proved uterine blood flow could be positively changed
in 100% of the study participants who received 8 acupuncture
treatments! (Human Reproduction, Vol.11, No.6, 1996).
As acupuncture has been added to treatment plans by
reproductive specialists here in the west, other benefits
are gaining recognition as well. These include a reduction
in the stress responses of the body, decreased anxiety
with better sleep patterns, less irritability and emotional
swings, changes in FSH and hormonal imbalances, more
energy and an overall feeling of well-being. This demonstrates
that the strong body-mind connection in Chinese medicine
can create both emotional and physical changes as the
body reaches a better state of balance.
Many thousands of people today choose acupuncture and
Traditional Chinese Medicine's "mind-body"
approach as an adjunctive therapy to their medical treatments
for infertility. It is a gentle, painless therapy which
not only has positive affects on blood flow, hormone
regulation and other physical imbalances, but also positively
affects the emotional elements so often apparent on
the frustrating path to pregnancy.
