Acupuncture for Fertility

“The body will not conceive if a woman is not in a healthy enough state to support a pregnancy” – Justisse Healthworks for Women

From an evolutionary perspective, your body’s main priority is survival. This means its basic needs must be met and the body must be functioning optimally before it considers reproducing. This sounds like common knowledge, but how many people have actually looked at the correlation between their sleep, appetite, bowel movements, digestion etc and their reproductive health? Many women are diagnosed by Western doctors with “unexplained” infertility. The truth is, there IS an explanation with Chinese Medicine and the source of the problem usually lies outside of the reproductive system. Acupuncture can increase your chances of conceiving by correcting any dysfunction in other systems (respiratory, circulatory, digestive, urinary, etc.) that are distracting your body from focusing 100% of its resources on reproduction.
