Fertility Enhancement For Women

See how our different specialties approach fertility enhancement for women.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine focuses on a person’s unique constitutional pattern to dictate treatment therapies. Many women experience painful or irregular periods, hormone imbalance or emotional upheaval throughout the month. Each of these experiences may have a different root cause for each individual. By tailoring the treatment to each individual’s needs, Chinese Medicine can bring about great relief to many women.

Studies have demonstrated the ability of acupuncture and Chinese herbs to regulate hormonal balance, resolve menstrual irregularities and enhance endocrine function. By connecting the Uterus with the Kidneys, Heart and Brain, Chinese Medicine can create great change and can impact how emotions affect endocrine function and create a sense of peace and wellbeing while trying to conceive.
