1. Acupuncture Improves Blood Flow To Reproductive Organs
One of the main ways acupuncture supports fertility is by improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. This enhanced circulation helps nourish reproductive organs, making them healthier and more receptive to conception. Increased blood flow can also improve the thickness and quality of the uterine lining. These factors are crucial for successful implantation and a healthy pregnancy. Additionally, it supports ovarian function, helping with egg quality and overall fertility.
“Is Traditional Chinese Medicine safe during pregnancy?” is one of the most commonly asked questions we get from pregnant women. In short, the answer is: ‘Yes it is safe’. Research from a systematic review has shown that undergoing acupuncture is safe during pregnancy when applied correctly. There are a number of acupuncture points and herbal ingredients that our pracitioners at Health Wise are trained to avoid for pregnant women to ensure safe outcomes.
2. Balance Hormones
Hormonal balance is essential for a regular menstrual cycle, ovulation, and conception. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine help create a stable pregnancy environment. When hormones are balanced, egg and sperm quality improves, boosting the chances of conception.
For women undergoing fertility treatments like IVF, acupuncture can complement the process by helping stabilise hormonal fluctuations. Scientific data shows that acupuncture helps to improve menstrual regularity, restore ovulation pattern regularity, increase pregnancy rates, regulate hormonal secretions, normalize body temperature patterns, and increases embryo survival rates.
Our team has over 30 years of clinical experience helping patients. You can rest assured that our experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners will safely guide you through the process. We specialize in fertility, and under our care you are in safe hands.
3. Reduce Stress
Stress is a major factor that can interfere with fertility and pregnancy. High stress levels can affect hormone production and disrupt the delicate balance needed for conception. Acupuncture is well-known for its calming effects, reducing stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation. By soothing the nervous system, acupuncture helps create a more peaceful and fertile environment for conception, making it easier for your body to focus on becoming pregnant.
4. Treats Underlying Health Issues
Acupuncture looks at fertility holistically, addressing not only reproductive health but also the body’s overall balance. An imbalance digestive system, energy levels, or other areas of health can affect your fertility. Acupuncture helps treat these underlying imbalances by boosting overall well-being. As your body becomes healthier and more in tune, your fertility improves naturally, setting the stage for a successful pregnancy.
Nausea & Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting in the form of morning sickness is common during pregnancy, affecting 70–80% of all pregnant women. These symptoms are typically limited to the first trimester. However, a small percentage of women can experience a prolonged course of these symptoms that can extend all the way until delivery. The overall quality of life and ability to work whilst experiencing these symptoms can be negatively impacted.
Acupuncture, and acupressure (stimulation of pressure points without the use of acupuncture needles), have been shown to reduce symptoms of nausea and vomiting. The National Library of Medicine has published research that shows acupuncture can help to reduce nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy. These treatments can be used to alleviate mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. The treatments can also help to promote a greater sense of general well being.
Headaches
Some pregnant women find themselves continually experiencing migraines throughout their pregnancy and postpartum. In some cases, even those without a previous history may experience migraines and headaches for the first time during pregnancy or after birth.
Treating migraines during pregnancy can pose a challenge to Western doctors due to the risk of fetal complications from using standard migraine medications. On the other hand, acupuncture treatments can provide natural analgesic relief to patients who are suffering. Research has shown that acupuncture may reduce pregnancy-induced headaches and provide effective support for patients with minimal risk to the fetus.
Pains & Aches
More than two‐thirds of pregnant women experience lower back pain and almost one‐fifth experience pelvic pain. These two conditions may occur separately or together. The symptoms typically increase in magnitude as the patients move into the later stages of pregnancy.
Research shows that acupuncture is effective at relieving Lower Back and Pelvic Pain, and helps to improves the pain condition. Getting into regular acupuncture sessions earlier in the pregnancy can help to deal with the pains that develop later in the pregnancy more effectively.
5. A Holistic Approach To Pregnancy Health
Acupuncture isn’t just about treating fertility issues—it’s about enhancing your entire reproductive system and improving your overall health. By balancing your hormones, increasing blood flow, reducing stress, and addressing underlying health concerns, acupuncture supports a healthy pregnancy from start to finish.
