ACUPUNCTURE & TCM CAN HELP

Fertility: Acupuncture can be used to help regulate ovulation to increase predictability. It can also regulate hormones, increasing the success rate of fertility treatments. For older couples, acupuncture can address erectile dysfunction, low sperm count, impotence, painful intercourse, and low libido. Acupuncture can also help improve the quality of both the egg and the sperm. Pregnancy: During the first trimester of pregnancy acupuncture can be used to strengthen the lining of the uterus to hold the baby as it grows. Acupuncture is a safe treatment for morning sickness and can help reduce or eliminate nausea and vomiting. Acupuncture can also help with heartburn, mood swings, headaches, fatigue, memory issues, stress, preeclampsia, frequent urination, gestational diabetes, edema, and low back and/or pelvic pain.

ACUPUNCTURE IN A NUTSHELL

Acupuncture, the most well-known traditional Chinese medical procedure, is the practice of inserting thin needles into the body at specific points to relieve pain or treat a disease. Acupuncture triggers spontaneous healing reactions in the body, and scientific studies have proven its efficacy for treating inflammation, pain, depression, and a host of other disorders.
