Fertility & Assisted Reproductive

What acupuncture is doing during fertility treatment is more interesting than most explanations offer — it's influencing several overlapping physiological systems simultaneously. Systems that are deeply relevant to reproduction, but that also govern how the body works overall. Which is why patients so frequently notice changes they weren't expecting: better sleep, calmer cycles, less pain, more even mood.
