Chinese Medicine has helped many couples to achieve pregnancy for thousands of years. Early Chinese medical literature, dating back 3000 years indicates fertility treatment can regulate menstrual cycle in women and increase and strengthen sperm in men.
Hundreds of Chinese herbs for fertility have been identified and used extensively along with acupuncture, massage, diet and lifestyle modification for treating this condition. Chinese medicine for pregnancy has become increasingly popular in western countries as more and more couples find out how effective they are. In fact, Chinese Medicine fertility techniques are relatively non-invasive and can sometimes offer a better success rate for less cost when compared to other treatments such as IVF.
How Chinese Medicine Works?
TCM identifies the cause of infertility is usually as a result of energy imbalances in the body. The imbalances may be due to a wide variety of factors such as an unhealthy lifestyle, poor diet or improper eating habits, lack of exercise, stress, environmental factors, emotional or psychological issues. For infertility in females, the focus is usually on tonifying the kidney qi, replenishing the essence (jing) and blood, nourishing the conception vessel and thoroughfare vessel and regulating menstruation.
History of Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began in China over 5000 years ago. Traditional Chinese Medicine developed from the experinces accumulated over thousand of years in the battle against disease. It is an integral part of the culture that has helped billions of people to both maintain theor physial and mental health.
Even before the development of modern Western Medicine, a system and philisophy of tretament has been formed based on comprehensive theories of health care. Although modern Western medicine has brought healthier lives and has significantly extended the average lifespan, there is still a lack of knowledge in many areas, leading to deficiency in efficient treatment of certain conditions, including fertility.
In TCM, practitioners look at the whole person not just the symtptoms presented. The focus is on the psychological and physcial characteristics as well as examining and external stress factors that might contribute to a condition. Treatment is therefore aimed at the individual and the root of the problem, rather than offering temporary relief.
For Females
Traditional Chinese Medicine for fertility understands that the location of infertility begins in the uterus, and its development is related to the liver, spleen and especially kidney function. The kidneys control our congenital essence which is our inherited self; the spleen provides an acquired foundation based on our nutrition and the liver stores blood and regulates Qi ( vital energy ) movements. Normal functioning in these organs ensures a proper material basis for conception.
For Males
In the past, there have been many reported cases of improvement in both sperm quantity and quality, with some individuals achieving a normal sperm count following treatment with Chinese Medicine and therefore restoring fertility. Furthermore, male impotence, which may be due to a combination of physical and psychological factors, may be treated with herbs that address these issues. The medical speciality of Andrology, which studies these conditions, has become increasingly important and is now one of the major research areas of the Institute of Chinese Medicine.
