Chinese Medicine in treating Infertility

Emerging evidence highlights the potential of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) associated with Acupuncture as an effective intervention for female infertility. A comprehensive review indicates that this therapy may double pregnancy rates within a 3–6 month timeframe compared to conventional Western medical fertility drug treatments. Beyond improving conception outcomes, CHM and Acupuncture demonstrate favorable effects on key fertility markers, including enhanced ovulation rates, optimized cervical mucus quality, stabilization of biphasic basal body temperature patterns, and increased endometrial lining thickness. These physiological improvements suggest CHM and/or Acupuncture support a holistic environment conducive to successful pregnancy. With the dual focus on restoring reproductive health and improving clinical outcomes, CHM and Acupuncture (not dry needling) present a promising complementary or alternative approach for individuals navigating infertility challenges.
