The benefits of Acupuncture in treatment for the infertile couple can be found in early Chinese medical literature dating back to the 11AD. Not only do these techniques assist in regulating the menstrual cycle and invigorating the sperm, but they also serve to enhance the function of the whole body. This "whole body" health approach, in turn, provides a key to unlock unlimited potential in healing. This is especially appropriate for the over 40 couple as it stimulates overall health to affect reproductive health and a reduction of biological age.
There are several advantages to using Acupuncture as an approach to heightening a couple's fertility.
1. Acupuncture sees the person as an integral Mind/body organism, thereby does not treat just symptoms/diseases. Acupuncture ventures to stimulate the body's natural healing potential by treating root causes rather than just symptoms.
2. Acupuncture, used in the treatment of infertility, minimizes undesired side effects and accumulated toxicity from invasive procedures and drug therapies, known and unknown.
3. Acupuncture may be used to strengthen and balance one's general health so that reproductive medicine procedures are more effective. The patient derives general health benefits and endocrine system balancing from specific acupuncture regimes. Pregnancy becomes easier to achieve and postpartum recuperation happens faster. Medical studies have been done in China to verify this type of whole body health enhancement.
4. The widespread use of Acupuncture suggests that it is a complete traditional medical health care system and can be used with or without the integration of Western medical techniques.
