How To Know If Acupuncture Can Help When You Are TTC

We're digging into how acupuncture can help improve fertility.

Studies prove that using acupuncture pre and post-transfer increases the success of IVF.

We love acupuncture and recommend it to our clients. However, it is very important to select a practitioner who is experienced with infertility. Check out our blog here for more details about TCM and acupuncture.

Today I'm excited to welcome Tsao-Lin Moy to the podcast. Tsao is the founder of Integrative Healing Arts which utilizes Chinese medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine and energy healing to treat patients.

In this episode you'll learn:

1. How acupuncture helps with infertility. Specifically, we discuss egg quality, irregular periods, short luteal phase, PMS, male factor infertility (low motility, DNA fragmentation).
2. Qualifications to look for in a practitioner. Recommended frequency of treatment. How long treatment is recommended to prevent miscarriage.
3. How acupuncture helps reduce stress.
