Chinese medicine and acupuncture for IVF support

In recent years, TCM has become renowned for its ability to allow significantly increased success rates for those undergoing IVF. By improving the general constitution of the body and promoting natural healing, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine has proven to be an excellent complimentary treatment for IVF, evidenced by statistics done in studies. A review published in the British Medical Journal in 2008 found that Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) treatment can increase success rates of IVF by 65%. Sometimes, IVF acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine has proven to be so effective that patients may even conceive naturally before the IVF process begins.

As with the IVF procedure itself, TCM treatment for IVF support is a process involving several stages, from preparing the body for conception, to maintenance of the body during pregnancy. Each stage of the process is important, and patients are advised to attend weekly consultations and treatments, plus an additional treatment on the day of the embryo transfer stage of the IVF procedure.

TCM treatment provides new hope for many who may have difficulty conceiving, and has helped many infertile and IVF patients achieve their dream of bearing a beautiful, healthy baby.
