Natural Pregnancy
Borrowing from Debra Betts, a New Zealand trained and qualified nurse midwife/acupuncturist, "Acupuncture is an ideal form of treatment as it offers women drug-free relief for a multitude of problems that can arise during pregnancy and childbirth. Its use for conditions often regarded as part of a normal pregnancy, for example morning sickness, sciatica and symphysis pubis pain, can not only improve a woman's quality of life but also prevent them from becoming serious enough to necessitate medical treatment." Prebirth acupuncture can enhance the prospects of an efficient (i.e. shorter) labor.
For those people leery of the side effects of pharmaceutical fertility enhancers, acupuncture offers a viable alternative. Acupuncture and nutrition can correct many imbalances that may be preventing a successful pregnancy. Call today for a consultation!
"How Do Diet and Exercise Influence Fertility?"
Increasing one's chance of fertility is a whole-body, whole-life process which applies to both men and women. Recently, researchers at Harvard have confirmed, in a significant new study, that eating a diet rich in fiber, avoiding even small amounts of trans fats (but not necessarily avoiding other fats!), choosing plant proteins over animal proteins, and also getting regular exercise and maintaining a good body weight can all increase fertility levels. (See article link, below, for further details.)
With the addition of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, which can be beneficial to ovarian and uterine health, you may also be able to increase your fertility and optimize your chances for a successful pregnancy.
