How can acupuncture help?


Better Blood Flow:

Acupuncture has the potential to enhance blood circulation to the reproductive organs creating a conducive environment for embryo implantation, improve egg quality, and aid in follicular development.



Stress reduction:

One significant, but frequently overlooked, element in reproductive health is stress. High amounts of stress can interfere with ovulation, affect sperm quality, and upset hormonal balance. Acupuncture is a natural way to manage stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation.


Hormonal balance:

Maintaining hormonal balance is crucial for a successful pregnancy which acupuncture does well by regulating cortisol levels, increasing insulin sensitivity, and maintaining blood sugar levels.
