Five Seasons Women’s Wellness: Health and Wellness Blog

Are you having difficulty conceiving?  Have you ever wondered what fertility options are out there?

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have been used to enhance fertility for over 2,000 years.  Used together, acupuncture and herbal medicine regulate hormone levels, increase blood flow to the uterus, and reduce stress and anxiety, thus boosting fertility and promoting overall health.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat both female and male factor infertility.  It can be used alone or in conjunction with other assisted reproductive techniques, and has the added bonus of being side effect free!

Ariel Solomon, licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, specializes in holistic women’s health and fertility.  She has a very high rate of success in helping couples conceive and go on to have healthy and happy babies.

A Yale School of Medicine study recently published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology found that acupuncture can be used successfully to treat lower back and pelvic pain in women who are pregnant.

According to the study, pregnant women who received 1-week continuous auricular acupuncture treatment reported significantly less pain compared with those who received sham acupuncture or no treatment.

The study concluded that, “For a majority of participants receiving therapeutic acupuncture, pain relief was substantial and led to improvement of functional status. Hence, this study supports that use of acupuncture at specific auricular points is a safe and effective nonpharmacologic treatment of an important clinical entity for which there are currently few, if any, effective treatments.”
