Egg & Sperm Health 

The follicle(s) selected for ovulation in any particular cycle is determined by the body  3 to 5 months in advance. Given this fact, its may be very helpful to start treatment 3 to 5 months before conception to boost the body's natural ability to regulate the menstrual cycle (follicular, ovulation, luteal & menstrual phases) ,  balance hormones and optimize egg health. ​

Sperm also  develops to maturity over the course of 90 day. Therefore, to promote optimal sperm count, morphology and motility, treatment over at least 3 months is recommended.

During pregnancy, Traditional Chinese Medicine  and acupuncuture focuses on the synergy between mom and baby, supporting optimal health in both.

Because many women curtail the use of many medications during pregnancy, acupuncture fills a gap in managing common pregnancy symptoms.

Keeping up with regular acupuncture visits after giving birth can be a huge help to new moms.

Acupuncture supports mothers during this time by helping to restore hormone balance, reduce postpartum depression and support healthy moods, increase milk production, and increase energy levels.
