The treatment of infertility with acupuncture and Chinese medicine dates back almost 3,000 years. These ancient, time-tested techniques improve fertility rates and support a woman's whole body, unlocking unlimited potential health, healing and childbearing. An acupuncturist does not treat just symptoms and signs, but instead activates the body's natural healing potential by treating the root causes that have led to the problem or disease.
A landmark study published in the Medical Journal Fertility & Sterility found that acupuncture dramatically improves the chances of becoming pregnant when used in conjunction with other assisted reproductive techniques. In April 2002, German researchers reported that they had increased the success rate by nearly 50% in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) using acupuncture (Paulus et al. 2002).
