Acupuncture has long been used to successfully and safely treat the causes of infertility and to help expectant mums carry to full term.

 

Causes of infertility vary. They include reproductive disorder, taking the contraceptive pill for long periods of time and high levels of emotional stress which causes oxidative stress and lowers your chances of getting pregnant. 

 

Acupuncture acts as a mediator by releasing neurotransmitters (the chemicals that send messages from the brain) to prompt the hypothalamus (an area of the brain) to release reproductive hormones to the organs. 

Acupuncture also stimulates blood and Qi flow to the uterus. This creates ATP (the primary molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells) production inside the cells and increases the chances of natural conception and makes embryo implantation easier.
