Acupuncture and Fertility
Acupuncture is that ancient Chinese technique of alleviating pain and treating diseases and medical conditions by inserting needles in various parts of the body. According to Chinese philosophy, disease and pain occur due to an imbalance between two main forces of nature known as yin and yang. The Chinese believe that acupuncture refreshes this balance. Experts called acupuncturists insert razor sharp needles at one point or any of hundreds of precise points along the meridians.With the insertion of the razor sharp needles a sharp pinching feeling is created.This feeling fades away and is replaced by the tingling or that lack of sensation, heaviness, or soreness as the needles are in place.
Acupuncture is being used as remedy for pain and treatment for various conditions such as eye diseases, ulcers, arthritis, asthma, migraine and even mental illness.It has been thought of as a good treatment for people who suffer from infertility.
Acupuncture helps the nerves and muscles of the body to relax. Scientists have suggested three major assumptions for how acupuncture will work.It is based on an assumption that the meridians exist and they are attached to the body’s organs in some sort of special way.Based on the theory, acupuncture is said to increase the level of activity in the meridians which in turn stimulates the body organs to function well. Scientists also believe that acupuncture works in any case in part, by increasing the brain’s production of natural pain killers called endorphins. It has been a theory as well that acupuncture may work through the entire nervous system as it generates signals that break off messages of pain sent directly to the brain.
People who tend to undergo infertility are those who suffer from infertility like those who have blocked fallopian tubes and stress related infertility.It may not be proven that stress is directly related to infertility, relaxation has been recommended as a treatment for infertility.Both men and women who have been diagnosed to suffer from infertility are recommended to take acupuncture as part of their treatment plan. When you have had 10 visits to a professional acupuncture specialist, you would be able to make a conclusion if the procedure can help you with your infertility concerns.
