"I began my treatments with Blossom Health after unsuccessful IVF. I am now a new mum and ever grateful for the treatment I received from Payal" Lucy 33

Why Acupuncture and Fertility?

The use of Acupuncture for fertility is becoming increasingly popular and with good reason too. Clinical trials and research from the UK, USA, Denmark and Germany have shown clear benefits for both men and women using acupuncture on its own or in conjunction with assisted reproductive techniques, such as IVF. At Blossom Health, we use safe and effective traditional acupuncture techniques to assist fertility and aid the conception process.

What can acupuncture do for me?

Our fertility focused acupuncture treatments treat patients at a holistic level. Primarily, we aim to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, balance hormone levels, regulate the menstrual cycle and help improve the lining of the uterus and quality of eggs released. But we also look to other areas that can hinder conception. Conditions such as polycystic ovaries and endometriosis can also be helped as well as problems such as low sperm count, morphology and mobility that affect male fertility.

Our practitioners also understand how stressful fertility concerns can be for patients. We aim to reduce associated problems such as anxiety, stress and insomnia as these greatly affect the chances of having a successful pregnancy.

How does Acupuncture work?

Blossom Health practitioner use Five Element Acupuncture, a traditional style of acupuncture that draws on the body’s own potential for healing. Physical and emotional trauma and the impact of living a busy and stressful life can put pressure on our bodies and, if untreated, we become vulnerable to illness. Acupuncturists are able to access, influence and restore balance to the energy that flows through our bodies by inserting very fine needles into the surface of the skin. It is this energy that dictates not only how our physical body functions, but also how we experience our emotions.

It is excellent for not only addressing the imbalances that cause fertility problems but also:

• Lower back pain
• Skin problems
• Stress
• Low energy levels
• High blood pressure and many more
