Acupuncture

Acupuncture treatment is a beneficial therapy that can begin at any stage of one’s fertility journey. From supporting one’s hormonal health and regulating the menstrual cycle to preconception care to supporting unassisted conception or through an IVF cycle, Acupuncture is a low-risk adjunct therapy that can be used use along or alongside pharmaceutical and/or hormonal medication..

Warm feet

If you are preparing or currently undergoing IVF treatment you would have heard about keeping your feet warm by wearing socks post transfer.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is imperative for all menstruating people to keep their feet warm, not only for fertility but for hormonal health as well, especially during the menses.

This is due to the main meridians responsible for reproductive health including the Kidney meridian beginning on the foot. By keeping the feet warm supports Qi and Blood circulation in the Kidney, Spleen and Liver meridians which are connected to the pelvic region and affect the function of the reproductive organs including the Uterus and Ovaries.

To Mai breathing exercise

Incorporating a Bao Mai breathing exercises into your daily meditation or as a grounding technique is a beneficial way to connect through to the Bao Mai channel. For Fertility, Traditional Chinese Medicine recognises a strong connection between the Heart, Uterus and Kidneys. The Heart, governing Blood circulation, nourishes the Uterus via the Uterus Vessel (Bao Mai).

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we view the Hypothalamic Ovarian Axis as connecting the Bao Mai and Bao Lou axis by connecting the Heart, Bao Gong (Heart and Ovaries) and Kidneys (influencing hormonal production and nourishing Jing). For hormonal health and fertility, it is imperative that there is an energetic flow between the organs with no stagnation or blockage. There are a number of causes that can disrupt this flow including emotional imbalances.

When supporting fertility patients at The Dao Health, there is an emphasis on keeping an open flow of Qi and Blood on the Bao Mai through using Acupuncture points on this channel.
