For couples struggling to conceive, Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a natural, holistic approach to fertility enhancement. At Aimin TCM Clinic, we combine ancient wisdom with modern understanding to support your journey to parenthood.
TCM views fertility as a reflection of overall health and balance. Rather than focusing solely on reproductive organs, we address the whole person—physical, emotional, and energetic—to create optimal conditions for conception.
Research-Backed Results
Studies show that acupuncture can improve ovulation rates in women with PCOS, regulate hormone levels, and increase success rates for IVF when used as complementary treatment. Weekly sessions for 2-3 months are typically recommended for optimal results.
How TCM Enhances Fertility
Acupuncture for Fertility
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points to regulate hormones, improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, and reduce stress—a known factor in fertility challenges. For fertility treatment, needles are typically placed at points on the abdomen, lower back, and limbs.
Research reveals that acupuncture can balance hormones to regulate ovulation, improve blood circulation for higher chances of fertilized egg implantation, and enhance success rates for women undergoing IVF.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulas are prescribed based on your unique TCM diagnosis. These traditional remedies help nourish blood, strengthen the reproductive system, regulate menstrual cycles, and address specific imbalances affecting fertility.
Lifestyle & Diet Guidance
Weight is a crucial factor influencing fertility—being either underweight or overweight can affect menstrual function. Our physicians provide personalized dietary recommendations and lifestyle guidance based on TCM principles to support your fertility journey.
