CHINESE MEDICINE CAN TREAT INFERTILITY - including in advanced maternal age groups
Infertility is a common condition impacting millions of couples. Infertility is typically defined as an inability to get pregnant after a year of unprotected intercourse.
Western medicine has made great strides in infertility therapy, particularly through the development of assisted reproductive technology (ART), including in vitro fertilization.
While Western medicine focuses on measuring and using hormones to achieve pregnancy, Chinese medicine looks at the health of the whole body. Infertility is a sign of underlying imbalances.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers a holistic view of infertility either as a stand alone treatment or one that complements the Western approach.
Chinese Medicine (CM) suggests that there are three main causes of infertility: deficiency syndrome, stagnancy syndrome and heat syndrome.
A correct diagnostic and treatment protocol from a licensed Chinese medicine doctor may include Acupuncture, Individualized herbal formulas, and Qigong - whgich can allow a whole-body balance.
Chinese medicine has an impact beyond achieving pregnancy alone. If a parent is not healthy, the child will not receive the best environment for development. Healthy pregnancies begin from a state of balance, before conception and during pregnancy.
