Traditional Chinese Medicine for Women's Health
Traditional Chinese Medicine has a long history in the treatment of women, going back to some of the earliest classical texts like the Yellow Emperor’s Classic (Huang Di Nei Jing) and the Book of Mountains and Seas, written nearly 3000 years ago. These ancient texts included instruction on acupuncture treatments for many women’s gynecological problems (ie. menstrual disorders, infertility and postpartum diseases) and Chinese herbal medicine for treating infertility.
ACUPUNCTURE & TCM FERTILITY SUPPORT
Modern research is now recognizing that Traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically Acupuncture, can be used to support fertility by reducing stress, improving blood circulation to the reproductive organs and enhancing IVF outcomes. In fact, more fertility centers across the United States are now incorporating or recommending acupuncture to women as they prepare for fertility treatments.
Whether you are trying to get pregnant naturally or undergoing fertility treatments, weekly acupuncture treatments can help increase your chances of getting pregnant and help prevent repeated miscarriages. You can also schedule a special acupuncture treatment on the day of IVF transfer to increase your chances of implantation and a viable pregnancy.
The recommended weekly treatments can help with the following goals & conditions:
- Regulating your menstrual cycle
- Increasing blood flow to your reproductive organs
- Improving the quality of your eggs
- For men: improving the sperm count & motility
- Decreasing stress and anxiety
TESTIMONIAL
“I am fortunate to have met Dr. Rodriguez, at the recommendation of my doula, during my first pregnancy. She urged me to seek out her incredible acupuncture services for pain relief as well as emotional and nervous system support. I had NO idea how transformative my treatments would be and haven’t stopped raving about acupuncture to anyone who will listen ever since… As a friend and practitioner, Dr. Rodriguez’s warmth and wisdom is unmatched! She has always gone above and beyond, generously extending herself, to tailor treatments and offer the very best care. I credit so much of my first “late”, unmedicated, natural birth and second FAST, complication-and intervention-free birth to her intuition and prowess. I have since had the pleasure of indulging in her cupping and massage treatments with herbal enhancements. Her body work was the first and remains the most important self care activity that I’ve done for myself since having my second son (within two years!). I look forward to continuing to nurture my family’s wellness by *treating* my kiddos to her pediatric treatments! Cannot recommend Dr. Rodriguez’s services highly enough, if you are lucky enough to be in her light, you are lucky enough!”
