Help Create a Healthy Baby with Traditional Chinese Medicine
T
CM practitioners treat infertility by getting to the deeper, underlying root of the disharmony instead of treating the most apparent problem(s). Chinese herbalists believe that the foun- dation is most important in a “home” or body. Therefore, we strive to balance the “foundation” of that body/home. Once the founda- tion of the body is healthy and Qi (life energy) fl ows freely, that Qi should be able to correct the problem of infertility on its own. How- ever, modern life sometimes complicates this basic function and we need to get back to the basics in order to create a life.
First, ovulatory issues can be addressed with herbal formulas to balance hormones when ovarian failure is due to hormonal issues. These herbs are especially helpful for older women who have mys- terious unknown causes of infertility. Herbal formulas can also ad- dress structural issues leading to infertility such as scar tissue block- age in the fallopian tube, fi broids in the uterus, or endometriosis in women. For men, Chinese herbs are used to increase sperm counts and improve the motility of sperm for improved rates of conception. It is also important to realize that after birth, all women will become depleted and it is a good idea to seek help for the mood swings, fatigue and other disharmonies associated with birthing. Chinese Medicine is distinctly equipped to address these symptoms and can help in great ways to restore health and balance to most postpartum issues.
