Traditional Chinese Medicine has assisted women in improving fertility for thousands of years. In these modern times, acupuncture and Chinese herbs can assist in treating common conditions affecting fertility such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome and hormone imbalances.
Research indicates combining acupuncture with IVF and other assisted reproductive techniques significantly increases the chances of a successful outcome.
