The Key is Proper Balance

A lot of women that have had difficulty conceiving or have been told they might have undiagnosed infertility can seek support in acupuncture. Often a woman is simply out of appropriate hormonal equilibrium or may have a less than ideal state of health and well-being due to anxiety, dietary factors or lack of physical activity. These factors are often what is holding them back from conception. What Causes Infertility? Hormonal inequalities and fertility issues are related to the endocrine and reproductive systems. These are closely tied to the ovaries alongside the hypothalamus and pituitary glands which are responsible for ovulation, menstruation and menopause. Together these constitute the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPO). This system has a rather delicate balance and may be easily thrown off balance by complications like stress, the natural aging process and many other factors.

Acupuncture Therapy has proven to help in improving appropriate function of the HPO and consequently can play an important role in a woman’s potential to conceive as well as increasing her general feeling of well-being during the course of the fertility treatment process.

How Acupuncture Works

Throughout thousands of years of experience, traditional Chinese medicine has put together a map of the human body that consists of pathways called meridians via which oxygen and blood flow to nourish the organs. Think of this as a road map to your health and wellness – when proper flow is interrupted (like a traffic jam) symptoms will occur.  The meridian pathways have specific points for healing that are stimulated by an acupuncture needle. The brain acts in response to the needle as a stimulation & our nervous system responds with a healing reaction. Studies reveal that acupuncture improves blood cell counts, endorphins, and serotonin levels – our body’s own natural pain relief and healing chemicals. Studies likewise show that chemicals connected with immune system function remain elevated for days after an acupuncture treatment. The improved circulation of blood and the body’s natural healing responses decrease inflammation, relieves stress, and strengthens one’s health.

IVF
  • Healthy Body, Better Results
  • Acupuncture Will Accent Your IVF Outcomes
  • Make Healthy, Good Quality Ova
In Vitro Fertilization is an excellent alternative for patients who have a medical situation hindering them from getting pregnant. IVF often has terrific results, but a patient should expect that a lot of effort must be put into the process. Many women find that IVF is a stressful time period in their life and can be taxing on the female body. Acupuncture is designed to help a woman relax more and concentrate on the body’s healthiness. IVF can also be costly, so the ideal situation is to become pregnant as quickly as you can. Or, simply put do less IVF cycles. The recommended method to accomplish your goal is to accent your efforts with acupuncture and additional factors which boost the results of IVF. This may include life factors such as your comprehensive diet, exercise, supplementation, medication & general health. According topublished studies, acupuncture is the only therapy that has been proven to improve live birth outcomes from IVF.
Making Your IVF Cycle A Success
Acupuncture patients regularly experience the advantage of higher quantity, and better quality ova. Improving circulation with acupuncture enhances the function & muscle-tone of the uterus and ovaries. Acupuncture increases the Nitric Oxide levels in treated regions and as a result escalates local circulation. Why is it important to increase Nitric Oxide? In a published research study, Nitric Oxide appears to slow down the hardening of the ova’s outer shells, increase the release of molecules that prevent improper fertilization, and fight other signs of aging that could interfere with fertilization. In addition, acupuncture functions to help relax the nervous system, diminishing stress and anxiety. This is particularly important during an IVF cycle to strengthen results. All of the factors discussed are the result of acupuncture combined with assisted reproductive therapy that benefit women in increasing their chances of becoming pregnant.
IUI
IUI treatment is a first choice for many couples who have had difficulty getting pregnant but do not yet need to try IVF. Published studies reveal that acupuncture significantly increases success with IUI. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure that involves placing sperm inside a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization. This fertility treatment can be done with or without medication. Acupuncture benefits this process by improving egg quality and readying the uterus for implantation.

Natural Fertility
If you’re trying to get pregnant in a natural manner, it’s typically a process every single month to determine if you’re timing your ovulation correctly. If your hormones are in balance, FSH signals the start of the cycle, Estrogen and LH peak for ovulation, and your luteal phase is between ten to fourteen days. Because there are so many considerations involved, conditions must be just right for conception.
Fertility = Healthy Hormones
If you’ve been seeking to get pregnant for multiple months and have not been successful, consulting with acupuncture physician Jiji Cook can benefit you in many ways. Aside from acupuncture, Jiji works much like a coach to help you figure out your cycle, your timing, and any missing pieces of the equation that can help you accomplish your pregnancy.
Age
Approaching 40 and TTC? It’s common knowledge and simple science that the opportunities of conception reduce with advancing age. The great news is acupuncture improves your fertility and in combination with proper supplementation and dietary advice, you can make your reproductive system ‘act younger ‘ than your physical age. Have you ever met someone and thought they were much younger or older than their actual age? That’s because every person has their physical age & also a biological age. Your body can respond in ways that a much younger person’s body would respond when it is properly cared for. And alternatively, many people experience rapid biological aging when they have unhealthy habits like smoking or lack of exercise. You might as well do everything you can to enhance your pregnancy attempts . Diet, exercise, acupuncture & healthy weight will increase your chances and decrease your attempts.

We Can Also Help Children

  • Children Benefit From Natural Medicine
  • Stimulate Immune System Without Drugs
  • Emotional & Behavior Issues Can Be Treated
Treatments For: Insomnia, Nightmares, Anxiety, Asthma, Allergies, Ear Infections, Bedwetting, Behavioral Issues, Constipation, Low Appetite. Children have particularly delicate immune systems. Their immune systems are not fully developed such as an adult’s which brings about more frequent illness. As a parent, you understand a healthy child is a happy one. Children who are chronically ill are more likely to misbehave, sleep poorly & make life harder for their parents. Rather than continually giving them a drug to mask symptoms, natural medicine can be the answer to strengthen the immune system and heal the root of the problem. Emotional sensitivity in children often results in behavioral issues. It is common to see children who are afraid of the dark, feel overwhelmed in social situations or have anxiety & frustration related to school. Lack of sleep, insomnia & nightmares often lead to a depressed immune system and behavioral problems in children. For emotional & sleep problems such as these, nothing works better than pediatric acupuncture to calm the nervous system. Treatments will help to refocus their attention and energy and help them handle with stress. This is why acupuncture can also benefit children suffering from ADD or ADHD. Kids experience different recurring health problems including: bedwetting, constipation, chronic ear infections, asthma, allergies (food & environmental), and headaches. Many parents prefer to not have to give their children prescription drugs. Acupuncture is a safe and natural alternative way to treat a developing system without the use of chemicals and other synthetic substances. Parents often ask, “What will their treatment be like?” Don’t worry! They don’t have to lay still with needles in them like an adult treatment. We often begin with acupressure and make the session like relaxed play time so they do not fear coming in for treatments. Children respond quickly to treatments and often need fewer sessions than adults. Kids are involved with their treatments and leave feeling relaxed and happy.
