Acupuncture is becoming recognized as a valid form of treatment by Western doctors. Acupuncture dates back thousands of years in China and has been found to be helpful in treating a variety of conditions, like pain management and cessation of smoking. Recent studies have shown that it can also be beneficial to those experiencing infertility. Acupuncture is has been shown to calm the nervous system, increase blood flow throughout the pelvic region and reduce stress.
Used as a complementary form of therapy for women undergoing other fertility treatments, acupuncture has been proven to be especially beneficial. In particular, studies have shown that acupuncture definitely increases the rate of pregnancy in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
