Women’s Health

The American Society of Reproductive Medicine’s Fertility & Sterility Journal has included the utility of acupuncture in conjunction with assisted reproductive technology (like IUI, IVF) because of it’s proven ability to help women overcome reproductive health concerns and positively influence fertility.

Acupuncture has been shown to regulate hormone levels is by its effect on the release of endorphin levels in the brain, which improves the release of hormones by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovaries.

Acupuncture can increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, which dramatically improves a woman’s response to hormones.

Acupuncture can improve immune response, which may be an important factor in autoimmune conditions and other conditions such as endometriosis.

Acupuncture improves stress response, and calms a hyperactive sympathetic nervous system response.
