The aim of the treatment
The treatment plan of acupunctureย is for balancing hormones and relieve stress. The Chinese herbal medicine is aimed to boost energy levels, nourish spleen and kidney yang, enhance reproductive system function and improve the quality of eggs during ovulation.ย
Along with acupuncture and Chinese herbalย medicine we recommended some dietary changes along with some lifestyle changes to help get her body prepared.ย
DIETARY GUIDANCE
In Chinese Medicine, it is believed that when we consume on day to day basis will alter our body temperature. To improveย fertilityย we always recommend eating warming foods,ย the philosophy behind this is that a warming diet builds the bodyโsย qi and blood and gives your body strength to conceive.ย
ย For example, it isย good to consume vegetables but refrain from eating cold salads instead we recommend choosing cooking your vegetables. In line with the temperature of theย food you consume.ย We also recommend eating a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Eating fish especially oily fish, at least twice a week ( about 8 ounces/ week). Limit intake of saturated fats, oils and sugars.ย
Tea and coffee should also be avoided if you are trying to conceive, instead, we recommend having tea made from Ginseng slicesย โ Ginseng slices can be purchasedย here.ย
It is also best to avoid alcohol, however, red wine is small amount is considered acceptable but better avoided to see the best results.ย
We also recommended consuming red meat frequently, foods that are dark, red like blood are blood-building foods and are good for fertility.ย
LIFESTYLE CHANGESย
Try to exercise regularly, we encourage more gentle exercise such as yoga and pilates.ย
When you feel like your body needs a rest, rest โ it is easy to fall into the trap of talking about resting instead of actually resting. Relaxation exercisesย such as qi gong, taiย chi, meditation along with yoga and pilates foster yin andย help to recharge and rebuild your bodyโs energy,ย
A rested body is better preparedย for the herbal supplement programme, it improves your bodyโs fertility and increasesย your chances of conceiving.ย ย
