Getting Pregnant With Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbs
Acupuncture helps to clear out blocked pathways that are in your entire system. Stagnation in a general health sense can block all kinds of neural and reproductive pathways. It will often take multiple sessions over the course of at least a few months to possibly get pregnant with acupuncture. Most acupuncturists will also give you some traditional chinese herbs to further bring healthy chi to your reproductive organs. They might even focus on specific organs such as your liver, gall bladder and spleen.
I’ve been to a few dozen acupuncturists over the years for various health issues I have had. It is generally a very relaxing session and you might leave in a state of relaxed bliss…. you might even feel like you are in an altered state at the end of your session. You will probably fall asleep during your session which is a sign that the needles are working on a very deep level to clear out deep blocks and stagnation.
The cost of acupuncture can vary depending on if you are doing community acupuncture ( you are in a communal setting, often in a chair with a few other people in the room) or if you are having a private session. Community acupuncture can range from $20 to $45 a session. A private acupuncture session can range from $50 to $90 a session. If you pay in advance for bulk sessions you will often get a discount.
While this can be the path to pregnancy for some women, it works even more powerfully when it is used an an adjunct to IVF or with other holistic lifestyle changes ( cleaning, food and exercise changes and mindfulness practices) There are some acupuncturists that even specialize in fertility and some who will accompany you to the fertility clinic when you are getting your IVF procedures done.
