Acupuncture works by stimulating various points in the body. These are pathways through which “Chi” flows. Acupuncture affects the body in specific ways:

  • Acupuncture can regulate a woman’s hormones.

    Hormonal balance is essential for proper ovarian function and a healthy pregnancy. Studies have shown that acupuncture can normalize the secretion of hormones known to regulate a woman’s ovulation and fertility. These hormones include gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol. Acupuncture influences the production and circulation of hormones in the body, regulates the communication between the brain and ovaries, and balances hormonal changes at different phases in a woman’s menstrual cycle. As a result, acupuncture can help regulate menstruation, improve ovarian function and even restore an egg’s ability to respond to hormonal cues.

  • Acupuncture can significantly increase blood flow to the ovaries and the uterus.

    Many women who have had trouble getting pregnant have heard from their doctors that their eggs are unhealthy or unresponsive. Increased blood flow to the ovaries promotes good egg quality by supplying vital nutrients, oxygen and hormones to the ovaries. In turn, improving ovarian function and egg quality increases the likelihood of strong, healthy embryos.  Increased blood flow to the uterus is also considered valuable in enhancing endometrial receptivity.  This creates a thicker, healthier uterine lining and enhances embryo implantation and growth.

  • Acupuncture is effective at reducing stress.

    Stress disturbs proper blood flow to a woman’s reproductive organs and interferes with hormonal balance. Overproduction of cortisol and adrenaline – two stress-related hormones – can inhibit the body’s effective use of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. These are all hormones crucial to conception and implantation. According to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, women who underwent acupuncture had reduced levels of stress hormones as compared to a control group of women who did not undergo acupuncture.
