How Acupuncture Supports Fertility Naturally
Clinical research and centuries of practice show that acupuncture for infertility addresses several underlying causes of reproductive challenges:
1. Improves Blood Flow to Reproductive Organs
Promotes better circulation to the uterus and ovaries, enhancing egg quality and uterine lining health.
2. Regulates Hormonal Function
Balances reproductive hormones such as FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone to support ovulation and cycle regularity.
3. Reduces Stress Levels
Lowers cortisol and supports the nervous system to reduce the impact of emotional and physiological stress on fertility.
4. Enhances IVF/IUI Success Rates
Studies show acupuncture before and after embryo transfer can improve IVF success rates by 26–40% (Paulus et al., 2002).
5. Supports Male Fertility
Improves sperm count, motility, and morphology by reducing oxidative stress and improving testicular blood flow.
