Can acupuncture boost your chances of conceiving? ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Yes!! Acupuncture is one of the most powerful natural tools we have to support fertility and prepare the body for pregnancy🤰🏻​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ While it may not directly change your fertility “rate,” it works by helping your body function at its best by balancing hormones, improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, and calming the nervous system. All of these are essential when it comes to supporting conception, whether naturally or alongside IVF or IUI.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ From a Western perspective, acupuncture has been shown to... 🌸 Regulate the hormonal axis (HPO axis) that controls ovulation​​​​​​​​ 🌸 Increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, supporting a healthy uterine lining and egg quality​​​​​​​​ 🌸 Lower stress hormones like cortisol, which can interfere with reproductive health​​​​​​​​ 🌸 Improve outcomes when paired with fertility treatments​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ In Chinese medicine, fertility is a reflection of balance within your body, your cycle, your energy, and your emotional wellbeing. Acupuncture helps restore that balance in a way that’s gentle, individualized, and deeply supportive.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ In my practice, I’ve had the privilege of helping many women prepare their bodies for pregnancy, regulate their cycles, navigate PCOS or unexplained infertility, and feel more emotionally supported through the ups and downs of the fertility journey.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ If you’re looking for a holistic approach to fertility, I’d love to be part of your care team! I’m currently accepting acupuncture clients at my office in San Clemente on Mondays and Wednesdays at @radicalwellness_co. Appointments are one-on-one, with time built in for extra support (acupressure, ear seeds, cupping, or gua sha are always included when needed). Send me a DM to book 🌸
