Acupuncture can help to balance your body in order to prepare for conception. Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or with the help of Western medical treatment, acupuncture can help you to conceive.

A German study indicated that women who received acupuncture with Western fertility treatments had a success rate of 43%, while the control group who received Western fertility treatments without acupuncture had a much lower success rate of 26%.

PRE-BIRTH ACUPUNCTURE

Starting at 36 weeks, weekly acupuncture sessions can help prepare your body for labor and delivery while promoting deep relaxation and restful sleep. Before labor begins, acupuncture supports cervical ripening, stimulates oxytocin release, and encourages a more natural, efficient birthing process. While medical interventions are sometimes necessary, acupuncture can help labor progress more smoothly and effectively.
