Acupuncture has been a beneficial complementary therapy for people undergoing In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment. As interest in holistic approaches continues to grow, couples undergoing IVF may find added support from Chinese Medicine practices, enhancing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Does Acupuncture actually work for Fertility?
Chinese Medicine has a long history of treating fertility issues using Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, diet therapy and lifestyle adjustments. By addressing imbalances in the body’s energy flow and nourishing key organs like the Kidneys, Spleen, and Liver, Acupuncture can help regulate menstrual cycles, balance hormones, and promote optimal conditions for conception. Researches have shown that Fertility Acupuncture can improve outcomes for individuals undergoing IVF by enhancing blood flow to the reproductive organs, reducing stress, and supporting overall well-being.
How can I maximise my IVF success?
To maximise your IVF success, it is worth to begin preconception care at least 3 months before conception to adequately prepare your body and mind. When it comes to dietary recommendations, opt for a variety of natural foods, steer clear of excessive chemical and processed foods, alcohol, and cigarettes, ensure proper hydration and circulation, and engage in regular gentle exercise. It is also crucial to maintain warmth in your body and limit the intake of cold and raw foods. Acupuncture sessions should be strategically scheduled in alignment with your IVF calendar to optimise the potential for success. At NATRUE HEALS, we offer personalised treatment plans to prepare your body for pregnancy.
Which Acupuncture points are most effective for IVF?
The selection of Acupuncture points is a comprehensive process that considers individual body structure, tongue and pulse diagnoses, and presenting symptoms. Common Acupuncture points used to support IVF include those that enhance blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, regulate hormone levels, and reduce stress and anxiety. During your consultation, your Chinese Medicine practitioner can recommend specific acupressure points for self-massage based on your assessment. By targeting specific points associated with fertility and reproductive health, acupuncture can help optimise follicle development, increase uterine lining thickness, and create an optimal environment for successful implantation.

When Acupuncture is integrated into an IVF treatment plan, studies have shown improved pregnancy rates, fewer miscarriages, and reduced stress levels among individuals undergoing fertility treatments.
