Infertility is a problem that can occur in either men or women. When a couple is anxious to have a baby, stress and other factors can work against achieving conception. Acupuncture can help fertility in women and in men, too.
When infertility is a problem, too many times modern couples make their first line of treatment a visit to the doctor. They undergo expensive therapies or examine radical options, such as in-vitro fertilization or adoption. There is another type of treatment, however, that is non-invasive, does not use drugs, and can be safely completed in the privacy of the home.
About Acupuncture and Acupoints
Acupuncture has long been part of ancient Chinese healing methodology. It is based on the principle of meridians running throughout the human body that connect an exterior point with a corresponding organ or system.
Traditional acupuncture utilizes needles that are inserted into the point on the skin that accesses the appropriate part of the body affected by illness or pain. Acupressure accomplishes the same thing but does so with targeted pressure. Electromagnetic wave therapy also focuses on acupoints, but it does so in a non-invasive manner, by sending electrical impulses to the affected area of the body.
No matter the type of therapy used to access meridian acupoints, all of these methods work by targeting blockages in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or testes. The result is an increase in both chi (energy) and blood flow. This brings much-needed oxygen to the organs and revitalizes their functioning. The male and female bodies are naturally made to induce reproduction; when infertility is a result of blockage rather than physical inability, acupuncture is highly effective in treating infertility.
The benefits to this form of therapy are many. There are few, if any, side effects and it is a non-invasive way to stimulate the production of sperm and ova. Because acupuncture, acupressure, and magnetic wave therapy all take a holistic approach to health, there are actually side benefits to the procedure. Along with natural herbal supplements and daily treatments, infertility problems can even be reversed and allow a couple to fulfill their dream of having a child.
