Fertility
Fertility today can be complex and complicated by many factors such as expectations, social situations, age, environmental influences, stress, malefactors, ever-increasing autoimmune, and gynaecological issues to name a few. The more you can do to improve your health and the health of your partner will naturally benefit your chances of a successful outcome.
Individual variances must be taken into account and therefore a personalised plan based on a thorough history of both parties needs to be carefully thought out. With the personalised plan, we then present the facts in an upfront, professional manner to help you maximise your fertility potential.
Think about pre-conception health care (PCHC), as a 90-120-day period before you start to try to conceive. This can be done alongside any medical investigations or treatment. The aim of PCC is for you both to optimise your health and nutrition, while both egg and sperm are growing and maturing (takes approx. 3-4 months).
Acupuncture &
Moxabustion
Traditional Chinese Medicine describes the female reproductive system as a network of energy systems with complementary organs and hormonal responses.
The Chinese word for uterus ‘Bao Gong’ literally means “palace of the child”. It is through optimising its connection to the rest of the body, in particular, via the Kidney and Heart channel– think of the pituitary sending messages to the ovaries to produce oestrogen and the uterine response is the growth of its lining.
Acupuncture is a safe and drug-free treatment which can be used alongside natural conception or in addition to any assisted reproductive treatments (IUI/ART/IVF) you may be seeking at a Fertility Clinic.
Male infertility is often overlooked with the attitude that ART can overcome poor sperm count. But it’s more than just making the sperm and egg meet, it is about improving the overall health and DNA that becomes half of your offspring.
Herbal Medicine & Supplementation
The addition of either or both these modalities is carefully considered with each individual health needs in your consultation. In many cases, they are incorporated to help balance and support healthy hormone function, aid egg, and sperm quality, or to assist with better sleep and restore energy.
Oh , what a power is motherhood, possessing
A potent spell. All women alike
Fight fiercely for a child
Eurides, Iphigenia in Aulis, c. 405 BC
