1. From conceiving to delivery

In order to get pregnant, several critical processes must be conducted in succession: ovulation of a healthy egg fertilization from a healthy sperm and implantation on a well developed endometrial lining. During this process, the adequate amount of several female reproductive hormones must be secreted at the appropriate timing. After conceiving, maintaining your own health and a good pelvic balance for the growing fetus ensures a safe and easy delivery of the baby.

2. Caring for your body and mind with acupuncture

Regular acupuncture treatments allow your flow of Qi (life energy), blood circulation , and water consumption to become more efficient.
We ask you to take your BBT, Basal Body Temperature, every morning to see how your reproductive system functions every cycle, and provide treatment accordingly. For example, if your BBT chart shows erratic curve, you may have problem with chronic fatigue or stress. If your temperature doesn’t rise properly after the ovulation, your body, especially in your pelvic area, may be too cold, or you may have a hormone imbalance called “luteal phase diffect”.
If it takes more than 16 days to ovulate from the fist day of the period, your body may need more energy to nourish the follicle. With the BBT chart, we can monitor your healthy menstrual cycles which are critical to produce high quality eggs and well developed endometrial tissue.
We monitor your BBT chart in order to provide the most effective acupuncture treatment. In addition, acupuncture has the ability to reduce your stress level, calm you down, and balance your autonomic nervous system. A high stress level, both physically and/or mentally, is known to cause autonomic imbalance, which affects your blood circulation, endocrine system and immune system, and may create a less hospitable environment for the baby.
We add a variety of techniques to our acupuncture treatment, including: breathing instruction, posture instruction, relaxation, diet advice, and self moxabustion/shiatsu treatment to assist you in reducing stress and creating a healthy mind-body connection.

3. Acupuncture is holistic

Because acupuncture/bodywork works on your entire body, your other symptoms will be also treated in addition to your primary concern: infertility. For example, menstrual pain, PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, stiff neck/shoulders, cold feet, insomnia, constipation, chronic fatigue, and other uncomfortable symptoms will be reduced, preparing you and your body to be a healthy mother.

4. Stabilize the house of the uterus with pelvic adjustment

Our body work for infertility patients concentrates on the pelvic area. The womb and ovaries are located in the depth of the pelvis. By adjusting the pelvic balance, your reproductive organs receive better blood circulation, sufficient hormonal supply, less muscular tension, and above all, greater function. To maintain the ideal pelvic balance, we will give you instructions on exercise, posture, massage and walking for you to practice at home.

5. Care during pregnancy

During each phase of the pregnancy, we can provide appropriate treatments: taking care of morning sickness, reducing the risk of miscarriage, preventing back pain, turning the breech fetus, and so on. Our mission is for you and the baby to experience a safe and peaceful pregnancy and birth.

6.Typical reasons to seek infertility treatments from acupuncture include:

-Trying to conceive naturally without any medication or artificial procedure.
-Difficulty conceiving, with no medical explanation, “unexplained infertility”.
-Taking medication to help ovulation.
-Receiving or planning IUI (intrauterine insemination) or IVF (in vitro fertilization), including preparation for second round of treatments with the most prepared body/mind condition.
-Irregularity in fallopian tubes, and/or endometrial tissues. (can be combined with treatment with OB/GYN)
-Ovarian cyctoma, myoma of the uterus, endometriosis, or recovering from previous operations. -Diagnosed as PCOS, polycyctic ovarian syndrome.
-History of unfortunate miscarriages.

7. Boost the chance of pregnancy up with herbal medicine

In collaboration with Anzu pharmacy, a well-known pharmacist specializing in Chinese herbal medicine in Kanagawa, we help prescribe the best Chinese medicine for you, personalized for your overall condition. Western medicine is usually prescribed for individual symptoms, such as “hypertension”, “constipation”, or “headache”. On the contrary, Chinese medicine takes holistic approach, prescribed based on your body type. In order to determine your type, we will collect information by touching your body, analyzing your pulse, checking your tongue, and asking you a lot of questions about your medical history, diet, life style, and personality. The herbal medicine, combined with our acupuncture treatment, will improve the balance of your Qi, water, as well as accelerates the healing process in your body. We welcome those who suffer from side effects of western medicine, or from multiple symptoms, and even those simply interested in natural medicine. Also, since many western medicine physicians do not receive the same training in Chinese herbal medicine, we encourage you to allow us to find your own tailor-made herbal medicine, even if previous herbal treatments from your physician have been unsuccessful. We will advise you to start with acupuncture/herbal medicine to tonify your basic body balance, and then, move on to the specific treatment/prescription for each phase of female body cycle: follicular phase, ovulation phase, luteal phase, and menstruation phase.
