Acupuncture for Infertility

Acupuncture is a licensed profession. If you are being treated with Acupuncture for Infertility, it might be advisable to continue treatment after pregnancy at least for the first trimester because acupuncture can help hold the pregnancy as well. Your therapist will be able to determine the length of time you should be treated.

Acupuncture is a safe and reliable addition to your fertility treatment plan. Your acupuncture practitioner might recommend herbs to accompany your treatments. Traditional Chinese Medicine usually includes herbal remedies.

Simply put, acupuncture for infertility, clears energetic blocks by placing small, sterile needles along energy meridians. The Chinese call this vital energy, Chi.

There are no side effects from the treatment of Acupuncture. However, there is a phenomenon called a healing crisis. Acupuncture is such a powerful treatment, that it stimulates certain healing response that can cause some discomfort. You might need more water and rest during your series of treatments.

An emotional response is common. Since it can be emotional traumas that cause the body to become congested, emotions are often released when the congestion is cleared.
