Benefits of Acupuncture and herbal medicine treatment:
Acupuncture and Herbal medicine, used in the treatment of infertility, minimizes undesired side effects and accumulated toxicity from invasive procedures and drug therapies. Acupuncture and herbal medicine is recommended prior to IVF, GIFT/ZIFT, ICSI, and TET procedures since they can strengthen uterus and balance endocrine system leading to higher implantation rate and more successful results.
Fertility treatments may vary from individual to individual, but on the average, an acupuncturist will see you for at least three consecutive cycles (twelve weeks). Your treatments will begin with a comprehensive consultation with your practitioner in which you will discuss details of your menstrual cycle, medical history, lifestyle, nutrition and exercise habits. Treatment will usually include acupuncture, customized herbal therapy, stress reduction and a reasonable diet. Give the treatment six to nine months before evaluating results.
