Chinese Acupuncture for Fertility Problems

For almost 3,000 years people have been treated with Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine to address fertility problems.
In modern culture, research shows in statistics that 35-40 percent of fertility problems are found in the male, 35-40 percent in the female, and 20-30 percent involve a combination of both, plus a small unknown percentage.

Often, the approach to fertility treatment focuses solely on the woman, unfairly, on the assumption that the female is responsible for not conceiving. But this data makes clear that in order to treat fertility, the male needs to be examined and tested as well.
If you have been trying to conceive without success for one year, both the man and the woman should be examined.

Chinese Medicine and Fertility Problems

Traditional Chinese medicine does a wonderful job of regulating, improving, and preparing the body for pregnancy, and both the male and the female go through this process.
Fertility problems can also create pressure and stress for one or both partners, and Chinese acupuncture and herbal treatment can help greatly with reducing stress, given that more than one factor is usually involved
Treatment with medicinal herbs, Chinese acupuncture and nutrition can increase the chances of becoming pregnant.

Sperm Test Measures

Sperm count – how many sperm are found in a single semen sample.
Sperm motility – the ability of the sperm to move independently, quickly, and in the right direction.
Morphology – the shape and structure of the sperm.
Seminal fluid – mixes with the sperm before ejaculation.
Pathologies include a small/large semen volume, semen pH (acidity), and so on.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, semen is a pure fluid; the pure essence (Jing) of men.
A person (male or female) is born with a genetic makeup that is their essence, referred to as “pre-heaven energy.”
This essence is stored in the kidneys, and is gradually used up throughout a person’s life.

Everyone can protect their essence by eating only when they feel hungry, sleeping when they feel tired, and acting in a moderate, appropriate way in life.
The essence is like a savings account, and the withdrawals from that account are the uses we make of that energy.

Causes of Male Infertility

Unhealthy eating, not sleeping enough, or living in excess (drinking too much, too much sex, etc.).
Smoking. Toxic substances in drinks or food (fast food, processed food, etc.).
High body temperature. For example, people who sit in the same place for long periods without moving.
Mobile devices on the lap or on a belt.
Food supplements.
Drugs. Alcohol.
Being overweight

Chinese Acupuncture and Fertility

Studies show a clear connection between Chinese acupuncture treatments and herbal medicine and an increase in sperm quality across every measure.
The essence needs to be nurtured and used wisely for everyday life, and wasting it can cause infertility and shorten a person’s lifespan.

Studies on Fertility and Chinese Acupuncture

In one study, 16 infertile men were examined and treated with acupuncture twice a week for five weeks. Compared with the control group, patients who received Chinese acupuncture showed a positive change and a functional increase in sperm.
Acupuncture was performed once a week, together with herbal medicine.
It’s like homework for the body and mind.
In addition, a balanced diet is tailored, focusing on eating a variety of vegetables.
If there are additional problems such as prostatitis, impotence or pelvic inflammation, Chinese acupuncture is also used here to address those issues.

Ultimately, the goal is to build overall health in order to improve the chances of conception.
Chinese acupuncture and medicinal herbs can help you successfully strengthen your fertility, and ultimately achieve a successful, healthy pregnancy.

Good health!
