Fertility Acupuncture
Supporting Fertility Naturally and Through Assisted Methods
Acupuncture has been shown to enhance fertility—both natural and assisted—by helping the body achieve optimal physical and emotional balance. Studies suggest it may improve outcomes by up to 75%, depending on the treatment approach and timing.
Natural Conception Support
When trying to conceive naturally, factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances, egg and sperm quality can all play a role. The emotional toll of fertility challenges can further impact the body’s ability to conceive. While acupuncture cannot guarantee conception, it can help create the best possible conditions by supporting hormonal regulation, emotional wellbeing, and overall reproductive health.
Emotional and Physical Detoxification
Acupuncture can help release long-held emotional tension, which may disrupt the body’s energy flow. Blockages in the meridians can affect mood, organ function, reproductive health, and even body temperature—each of which plays a role in fertility. By restoring balance, acupuncture supports the body’s natural rhythms and hormonal harmony, including oestrogen and progesterone levels essential for ovulation and implantation.
Clearing Internal Pollution
In addition to emotional release, acupuncture may assist in clearing internal toxins caused by poor diet, substance use, medications, and lingering illness. Once these are addressed, blood and energy can circulate more freely, helping the body return to a state of equilibrium.
Enhancing Egg and Sperm Quality
With a few gentle lifestyle adjustments, acupuncture can support improvements in egg and sperm quality—often within a 90-day cycle. It helps regulate hormones, stabilise internal temperature, and promote a calm, balanced state that’s conducive to conception.
Evidence-Based Benefits
A 2024 meta-analysis found:
-
During fresh IVF cycles, acupuncture performed during ovarian stimulation increased clinical pregnancy rates by 33%.
-
Before frozen embryo transfers, acupuncture increased clinical pregnancy rates by 71% and live birth rates by 140%.
-
Higher acupuncture dosage (treatment lasting longer than one menstrual cycle) was associated with increased clinical pregnancy and live birth rates by 71% and 75%, respectively.
