3 ways Acupuncture works with Fertility
1. Acupuncture improves pelvic blood flow
Good pelvic blood flow influences egg quality, lining thickness & sperm quality.
Yay!
We can do this with points on your lower tummy AND with points around your ankle/feet - Magic! (Science).
Improved pelvic blood flow from Acupuncture has been shown with vascular ultrasounds.
2. Acupuncture improves hormonal regulation
It does this by switching you out of fight or fight mode, into rest relax and regulate mode.
This means your body can make fertility hormones instead of stress hormones & this increases pelvic blood flow too.
3. Acupuncture decreases stress, improves sleep & digestion
Yay for the above! By helping you sleep better, your body runs on fewer stress hormones & can focus on extra jobs like making great eggs & sperm.
Acupuncture has been shown to improve gastric motility (so you're not constipated or have diarrhoea) so you can absorb all the vitamins from your food & supplements.
