Acupuncture and herbal therapy can increase live births in IVF cycles.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been used to support fertility for more than 2,000 years — originally to regulate menstrual cycles and help prevent miscarriage. Today it is used on its own and alongside modern reproductive care.
How TCM Can Help
Acupuncture and customized herbal formulas aim to:
- Reduce stress and aid relaxation
- Regulate hormones
- Improve ovarian function
- Enhance blood flow to the reproductive organs
- Support immune function
