Acupuncture for Infertility
Why use acupuncture to treat infertility?
Maybe you’ve heard about the effects of acupuncture and Chinese herbs to help couples struggling with infertility finally get, and stay, pregnant.
I’ve seen it so many times: frustrated, nearly hopeless women who’ve tried all the therapies finally make it into an acupuncturist’s office as a last resort. As I hear her story and sit with her in her anxiousness and heartbreak, I am always so grateful that she’s finally made it in to my office.
I tell her that our work together will take time and dedication.
That my job is to provide her the treatment plan I’ve created, one individualized to her life, her health, her needs and her goal of supporting fertility.
Her job is to follow the plan, and to treat herself with kindness and patience.
Shame, guilt, self blame are not allowed. They have no place in healing.
Especially when we’re working with a woman who’s been struggling with infertility.
What she needs is faith.
