Japanese Acupuncture and Fertility
Fertility is a delicate balance, an expression of the body’s overall health, emotional steadiness, and vitality. When that balance is disrupted, Japanese acupuncture offers a gentle way to restore harmony and support conception naturally or alongside assisted reproductive treatments.
By improving circulation to the reproductive organs, regulating hormones, and calming the nervous system, acupuncture helps the body find the conditions most conducive to conception. Treatments are deeply individualised, taking into account cycle patterns, temperature shifts, emotional wellbeing, and the physical landscape of each stage.
Common areas of support include:
Cycle regulation and ovulation: Promotes balanced hormonal function and supports healthy follicular and luteal phases.
Endometriosis and PCOS: Helps reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and support ovarian function.
Preconception care: Strengthens overall vitality and prepares the body for conception.
IVF and IUI support: Enhances blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, supports implantation, and helps the body recover after treatment.
Stress and emotional support: Calms the mind, reduces cortisol, and supports emotional balance throughout the fertility journey.
Post-miscarriage recovery: Nurtures physical and emotional healing, helping the body rebuild strength and resilience.
When appropriate, moxibustion or cupping may be incorporated to enhance warmth and circulation. The overall aim is to create a state of inner and outer harmony, helping the body feel safe, supported, and ready for new life to take root.
