Fertility Acupuncture
Whether you have problems or not, you can benefit greatly from Acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments. An array of issues can be supported and treated successfully. Through your treatment, we can work closely with your fertility consultant or GP where necessary.

The beauty of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine for natural conception is that it can fine tune your body into balance which may be just that missing link to you not getting pregnant. Unlike a quick fix, acupuncture works in natural time with your body and you should expect treatment time to be on average three to six months. This is because it takes three months for new follicles to develop mature healthy eggs for ovulation. During this time, Acupuncture will work on regulating your hormones, balancing your menstrual cycle and correcting any issues out of sync such as painful periods, light or heavy periods and so on. I will work closely with your BBT charts or check your blood work in order to identify any issues around your hormones, length of follicular and luteal phases and also to identify your ovulation window and optimal conception timing. Whilst all this wonderful work is being done, you will find that other health issues you have can be indirectly treated such as digestive issues, problems with sleep, body temperature and of course the inevitable anxiety and sometimes obsession that comes with desperately trying to become pregnant.

And don’t forget the males. As s***m are needed to create a baby, the often overlooked partners also can benefit from acupuncture or herbal tweaking, to assist with healthy new s***m generation and all round good health.

10 Evidence-Based Mechanisms of Acupuncture

1. Neurotransmitter Release
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—neurochemicals that reduce pain perception and improve mood.

2.Modulation of the Nervous System
Research shows acupuncture influences both the central and peripheral nervous systems, calming overactive nerve signals and regulating how the brain processes pain.

3. Activation of the Body’s Natural Pain Control (Gate Control Theory)
Needle stimulation can interrupt pain transmission in the spinal cord, effectively “closing the gate” on pain signals before they reach the brain.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Studies demonstrate that acupuncture reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases anti-inflammatory mediators, helping conditions like arthritis, headaches, and menstrual pain.

5. Improved Blood Flow and Microcirculation
Local needling increases nitric oxide production, which widens blood vessels and improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.

6. Regulation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis (HPA Axis)
Acupuncture can regulate stress hormones (like cortisol) and reproductive hormones, supporting fertility, menstrual regularity, and menopause symptom relief.

7. Brain Imaging Evidence
Functional MRI studies reveal that acupuncture alters activity in brain regions involved in pain perception, emotion regulation, and autonomic function.

8. Immune System Modulation
Clinical evidence shows acupuncture can boost white blood cell activity, natural killer cell function, and antibody production, enhancing immune defense.

9. Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Certain acupuncture points activate the vagus nerve, improving digestion, calming stress responses, and reducing inflammation throughout the body.

10. Homeostatic Regulation
Across multiple systems—nervous, endocrine, and immune—acupuncture helps restore balance, supporting better sleep, digestion, mood, and overall resilience.
