Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of trying. Being unable to conceive a child can be heartbreaking for a couple and has broken more than a few good marriages. Homeopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are a powerful combination that offers hope to the childless couple by establishing equilibrium within the body.

The empirical evidence for the benefit of acupuncture and TCM in conception problems can be found in Chinese medical literature dating back over 2000 years. Homeopathy and TCM improve the chances of becoming pregnant as they enhance the function of the entire body. They provide a key to unlocking unlimited healing potential in each person I treat. This process is beneficial for all, but especially important for people struggling with infertility as it provides an overall health boost which in turn boosts reproductive health.

It is important to note that my treatment does not exclude mainstream medical ideas and techniques; In my care it is likely that both partners will be required to go for assessments with a gynae, urologist or specialist technician to clarify the underlying condition and to provide benchmarks against which to measure progress of the treatment - There are overwhelming benefits to making use of some of the technologies that exist for our own purposes!

And even though western medical methods for treating infertility are complicated, expensive and often degrading and tend to complicate and aggravate underlying conditions, (and meta-analysis generally indicates a relatively low success rate) - this just makes alternative methods such as TCM and Homeopathy begin to seem more attractive.

With even the best of intentions there are those who will not be successful with this system; indeed there are many couples who could not possibly achieve conception without medical assistance: in such instances this system can still be used to tone the uterus and maximize uterine blood flow so that  medical fertility treatments can be more effective. It can also minimize the undesired side effects and accumulated toxicity from invasive procedures and drug therapies. Indeed, it is well established via the benchmark double-blind type study that acupuncture, used accurately, significantly enhances the success rate of standard IVF procedures. Many couples have used my treatment over the years in this way.

Homeopathy and TCM treat infertility on the basis of a careful differential diagnosis to resolve underlying patterns of disharmony. TCM addresses either a "deficient" condition that leads to poor nourishment of the body and organs or an "excess" condition that obstructs the organs and meridians (energy channels). Homeopathic care endeavours to identify the issues in the patient’s constitution, environment and lifestyle, the so called “obstacles to cure” and, through medication and/or advice, assist the patient to change harmful patterns of behaviour and response.

Your treatment is always individualized. In addition to acupuncture and medication, lifestyle changes are crucial-proper diet, stress reduction and regular exercise need to accompany treatment. Everything you do to better your chances will be repaid in full!
