Acupuncture and Fertility

By Linda Golden

Acupuncture is that old time Chinese tradition of inserting needles in different parts of the body to alleviate pain and treat different diseases.Based on the Chinese philosophy, diseases and pain happen when there is an imbalance in the two main forces of nature called yin and yang.The Chinese people believe that acupuncture restores that lost balance.Acupuncturists who are the experts in the process insert really sharp needles on many precise points in the meridians.The insertion of razor sharp needles produces that sharp tingling sensation.That feeling tends to fade as it is replaced by that tingling or lack of sensation or that heaviness or soreness as the needles are in place.

Acupuncture is being used as remedy for pain and treatment for various conditions such as eye diseases, ulcers, arthritis, asthma, migraine and even mental illness.It has been believed to treat people who suffer from infertility problems.

Acupuncture as a process helps the nerves and muscles of the body for it to relax.Scientists believe in three major assumptions about how acupuncture works.One great assumption is that these meridians exist as they are attached to the body's organs in a special manner.

According to the theory, acupuncture increases the level of activity along the meridians which results to manipulating the body organs to function.Scientists believe that acupuncture works in part by increasing the brain's production of natural pain killers called endorphins. It has become a theory that acupuncture can work all throughout the nervous system by generating signals that block pain messages as they are sent to the brain.

People who would be good contenders for attempting acupuncture are those who have problems with infertility such as damaged fallopian tubes or stress related infertility.Despite the fact that there is no scientific evidence that would show stress's relationship with infertility, relaxation is found to be a definite treatment for infertility.Men and women who are diagnosed to have infertility are advised to have acupuncture as part of their medical treatment procedure. With just 10 visits to an acupuncture specialist who's experienced and a professional, you would be able to conclude if the process helps you with your infertility problems. - 29962
