Fertility Enhancement
A couple is capable of conception approximately 26 days in a year. However, it is what they are doing on the other 339 days that determine the potential for success.
The guiding principle of our fertility enhancement program is "Life Creates Life". When you are vital, healthy, and full of life, your fertile potential naturally expresses itself in everything you do, and subtle obstructions to your natural fertility can be removed. It is with this principle in mind that we have developed our natural fertility enhancement program which incorporates detailed acupuncture, herbal, nutritional, and mind-body protocols tailored to your individual needs.

Statistics show that approximately one in six to ten couples will experience issues with conception and fertility. The imbalances which can cause difficulty in conception can often be corrected by very subtle, natural adjustments to the endocrine system. These subtle changes are attained with an expert combination of customized herbal medications, acupuncture therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.

The program
Our fertility enhancement program is designed to support your body's innate intelligence and harmonize the delicate balance of your fertility cycle. Using acupuncture, customized herbal prescriptions, targeted nutritional supplementation, and mind-body lifestyle guidance, we have seen dramatic improvements in patients with these and other conditions that affect fertility:

  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Poor Ovarian Reserve

Our program that incorporates detailed holistic analysis of your unique constitution, combined with and supported by laboratory testing. It is our view that by combining holistic and scientific we are on the cutting edge of fertility care, providing our patients with a high degree of accuracy and efficacy. Your treatment program will consist of:
  • A detailed initial consultation to pinpoint the type, source, and cause of disharmony in your fertility cycle.
  • Development of a customized treatment plan that addresses the symptoms as well as the cause of your fertility issues.
  • Regular acupuncture or Qigong treatments designed to support and encourage proper functioning at every stage of the fertility cycle.

Chinese Medicine - 2,000 years of success treating infertility
The first record of infertility treatment using Chinese Medicine dates back to approximately 11AD. Gynecology, or the exclusive specialty of treating women's health issues, has existed as a distinct art in Chinese Medicine since the same period. What this means is that when you begin a Chinese Medical regimen for infertility, you are entering into a form of treatment that has been used by literally tens of millions of women throughout the ages.
A comprehensive approach
Whether a couple opts for 100% natural or technologically assisted conception, natural fertility enhancement offers a much-needed element - the element of holistic, individualized care. While conventional medicine is king in terms of scientific research and complex microscopic procedures, Traditional Chinese Medicine is unmatched in its understanding and application of treatment that addresses the entirety of body, mind, AND spirit.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has known for centuries that body, mind and spirit are part of a single, organic whole. Any attempt at healing and wholeness must by definition address all three of these vital aspects of the human being. In other words, the state of hormonal balance and function, and the structure of organs and tissues, influence and are influenced by life experiences, emotional tendencies, thought patterns, and daily habits. Where conventional medicine often seeks to eliminate mind and spirit as "confounding variables" which skew the results of experiments, TCM includes them as a matter of fundamental principle.

A win-win for fertility patients
There is no way for any healthcare provider, natural or conventional, to predict when or if you will become pregnant. However, in cases where pregnancy is achieved, it usually happens within 3 to 9 months of treatment. And, if you eventually decide to try IUI or IVF, your body will be more prepared to respond to its fullest potential because of the time you have spent on your fertility program with us.
The investment
Our treatment program is both affordable and cost-effective. Whether you are using natural treatment only, or combining with conventional treatment, our goal is to provide you an option that brings maximum results for the price. A three month treatment program, with office visits, treatments, herbs, and supplements costs less than a single IUI cycle, and much less than an IVF cycle. This is especially helpful if you are using our services in combination with IVF.
