Your health is not separate from your emotions, what you eat and drink, nor your sleep quality. External environmental conditions can play a part too, as it all has an impact on your health and well being. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recognised acupuncture as an effective treatment modality for over 20 years but in recent years new guide lines have been introduced under national law.
Being in good health before you embark on trying to conceive is important for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. There are many reasons why women have difficulty in falling pregnant. Common examples include poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis or fibroids. Another common reason is what is called 'unexplained infertility'.
Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners understood the importance of treating disorders specific to women. The Yellow Emperor's Medicine Classic described the anatomy, physiology, diagnosis and diseases that were specific to women over 2000 years ago. For generations since, scholars and practitioners have continued to explore and consolidate the knowledge of women's related health problems.
Despite Chinese medicine being used for over 2000 year to alleviate period pain the current evidence is positive but many of the studies methodology and reporting has been of poor quality.

During the initial one-hour consultation I will help you to identify what factors have lead to your present disorder and work with you to treat not only the symptoms but also the cause. This explains what an acupuncture experience might be like. At this time I will gather information about your health history and current medications you are taking.
