Medical Travelers

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture are proven techniques for increasing the efficacy of IVF and IUI.

At our clinic, we treat people facing infertility using TCM alone, or in combination with concurrent western medical intervention such as IUI and IVF procedures. Acupuncture and TCM are natural and have no contraindications. Many, if not most western medical doctors are happy to work with acupuncturist because TCM augments any treatments they provide.

Acupuncture can help improve the success rate of in-vitro fertilization by:

• Regulating the hormones to produce a larger number of follicles
• Improving the function of the ovaries to produce better quality eggs
• Relaxing the patient and decreasing stress
• Increasing blood flow to the uterus and increasing the thickness of the uterine lining
• Strengthening the immune system
• Lessening the side effects of drugs used in IVF
• Preventing the uterus from contracting
• Improving semen and sperm to create better quality and quantity of embryos
• Decreasing the chances of miscarriage
