What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves the use of  needles into specific points along the body’s meridians or channels. These points correspond to energy pathways that flow through the body, and connect with the organs and systems responsible for reproduction. Acupuncture is known to:

  • Regulate hormonal imbalances
  • Improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus
  • Enhance the quality of eggs
  • Regulate the menstrual cycle
  • Relieve stress and promote relaxation

What is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion (Moxa) is the practice of burning mugwort (a Chinese herb) on acupuncture points to warm and stimulate the flow of Qi (energy). This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with cold patterns in their reproductive system, which can manifest as long periods, low energy, and difficulty conceiving.

By warming the body and improving circulation, moxibustion can:

  • Increase blood flow to the uterus
  • Strengthen the immune system
  • Improve the quality of cervical mucus
  • Enhance egg quality

How Acupuncture and Moxibustion Enhance Fertility

Acupuncture and moxa work together to restore balance to the body. By improving blood flow to the reproductive organs and regulating hormones, these therapies create a healthier environment for conception. They also reduce stress, which is known to impact fertility.

Many women who are struggling with conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility have been able to conceive and carry a child as a result of receiving  acupuncture and moxa therapy. These therapies address the root causes of infertility, rather than just treating the symptoms.
