You might have heard about fertility acupuncture as a cure for joint pain, addictions, but few people realize that the same technique which creates emotional changes in cigarette smokers or releases the pain in a knee can dramatically increase your fertility.

Acupuncture is thousands of years old and is based on the traditions of meditation and vital energy flow inside the body and the connection with the natural energy that surrounds us. Acupuncture is part of chinese medicine which is still effective today as it was thousands of years ago and makes miracle happen. It resides on the premises that any illness is a result of energy imbalance or block and can be treated by bringing back the natural energy flow to the points which were closed and obstructed it. Research shows that acupuncture can help increase blood flow to the uterus, reduce stress and aid in ovulation. Fertility acupuncture can also help men increase sperm count, sperm motility, make high quality sperm, enhance semen.

According to traditional fertility acupuncture theory, the meridians in the body which govern the reproductive system of the body need to be clear in order the energy flow to make them healthy and active. Using hair-thin needles, acupuncturists pressure special points along the meridians which regulate the gynecological health of women and remove blocks. If the energy channels are blocked there can be problems such as infertility, painful periods, irregular periods, no periods at all, or abnormal bleeding.

There are 12 major meridians and 722 regular acupuncture point in the channels. There are also branches of meridians which create meridian networks. Acupuncture meridians are the pathways of vital energy, which runs up and down the human body and connects the internalorgans. The vital energy, called Qi, is a living force int eh body and supports the functioning of the organs, the circulation of blood and fluid, regulates the hormones and created emotional balance.

It has been proved that fertility acupuncture treatment can regulate the female hormones, reduce stress, normalize ovulation and egg releasing.

Acupuncture also increases the blood flow to the uterus. This improves greatly the chances of egg fertilization. Acupressure increases the uterus lining by making it possible the body to relax and more blood to circulate in this area.

If you are going through invitro fertilization (IVF), acupuncture can help avoid the side effects of medications and prevent uterine contractions after IVF embryo transfer.

There are special techniques for turning the baby, if you have a breech baby. Acupuncture can even help with the emotional changes, anxiety, and make it easier for you to go through all the changes that happen in your body.
