Female & Male Infertility

It's been one of the biggest condition Oriental medicine has dealt with. It's not an irony that infertility condition actually woke up the modern western medical academy about its power. It's same interest to grow family no matter where and when we live - East ancient era, or West modern one.

During a clinical research for using acupuncture to reduce cramping pain from invasive procedure harvesting eggs, researchers found significantly higher success rate in conception among acupuncture group than the other. This research provided initiatives for oriental medicine to get quite serious attention and cooperative thoughts from western side.

Depending on the researchers' approach and the quality of protocol, the outcomes of trials varies. Oriental medicine is truely individual medicine, and there is no "standardized" solution for every couple. The lists of abstracts with positive influence of acupuncture for infertility below still may not be considered as the maximum probability of success of your own!

In Neoharmony Oriental medicine, you can prepare yourself for being a healthier parents enough to have a healthier kid. You'll feel yourself getting healthier every visit through your exciting journey to be a mom and a dad.
