Chinese Herbal Medicine offers gentle, natural support through every stage of your fertility journey—from regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting ovulation to preconception care and IVF preparation.
At our clinic, herbal formulas are carefully tailored to each individual based on their unique Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis. Whether used on its own or alongside acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine can help to restore balance, improve reproductive health, and support your body in the lead-up to conception, during pregnancy and labour, and through the post-natal period. This personalised, holistic approach makes it a valuable part of natural fertility care and assisted reproductive treatments like IVF.
Fertility and pregnancy acupuncture offers targeted support for reproductive health and can be started at any point in your fertility journey. It’s commonly used to help regulate menstrual cycles, support hormonal balance, and improve blood flow to the reproductive organs. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or undergoing IVF, acupuncture can be safely combined with Western medications and other treatments to enhance overall outcomes. Many people find it also helps reduce stress and improve sleep—key factors when preparing for pregnancy. With its gentle, low-risk approach, acupuncture is a valuable option for supporting both natural fertility and assisted reproductive care.
Acupuncture can support fertility in a variety of meaningful ways by helping the body function at its best. It works to regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which plays a key role in hormonal balance and ovulation. Acupuncture also helps to stabilise the menstrual cycle, improve blood flow to the uterus and reproductive organs, and support overall hormonal regulation. Additionally, it calms the central nervous system, helping to reduce stress—an important factor in reproductive health. By addressing both physical and emotional wellbeing, acupuncture provides a holistic approach to supporting natural fertility and preparing the body for conception.
Our Chinese Herbal Medicine and acupuncture therapies can help to manage a range of fertility, reproductive and general health issues including:
