💫 hCG Support in Early Pregnancy
A slow-rising hCG can feel worrying

Acupuncture may help support early pregnancy by improving uterine blood flow, supporting progesterone function, and calming the nervous system.

🌿 Research in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests herbs may help regulate reproductive endocrine function and support early pregnancy stability.

✨ Always seek care from a qualified practitioner.

Lower back pain doesn’t always start with an injury.

In TCM, pain that develops gradually is often related to Kidney weakness.

The Kidneys nourish the spine — when their energy is low, the lower back can feel sore, heavy, or weak.

Treatment isn’t about forcing relief,
but gently strengthening the body from within.

Yang rises | Post-ovulation (Luteal) phase

After ovulation, your body naturally enters the post-ovulatory (luteal) phase.

This is when progesterone becomes the dominant hormone — supporting uterine lining stability, implantation, and early pregnancy health.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this phase is linked with Yang support and gentle warming.
The goal is not stimulation, but stability and nourishment.

We use carefully selected Yang-supporting herbs, together with acupuncture, to:
• Support healthy progesterone levels
• Strengthen the uterine environment
• Promote warmth and blood circulation
• Help the body maintain a calm, stable luteal phase

For best results, treatment usually begins immediately after ovulation, helping to support implantation, cycle regularity, and overall reproductive balance.

Injury-related lower back pain can come on suddenly from lifting, twisting, or sports injuries.
In TCM, this pain is linked to Qi and Blood stagnation. Acupuncture helps restore flow, reduce inflammation, and support natural pain relief.

Yin & Yang transition | Pre-ovulation phase

As your period ends, your body naturally shifts into the pre-ovulation (follicular) phase.

This is when key hormones like estrogen (E2) and FSH begin to rise — supporting healthy follicle and egg development.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this phase is linked with Yin nourishment.

We use gentle Yin-supporting herbs, together with acupuncture, to:
• Support natural hormone balance
• Improve blood flow to the ovaries
• Deliver nutrients to help the egg grow well and mature naturally

💬 A common question:
“Will herbs that support estrogen cause early ovulation?”
The answer is no.
Herbs don’t rush your body — they support the egg to grow at its own natural pace.

✨ For best results, treatment often starts 1–2 days before your period fully ends, preparing the body for a healthy ovulation and cycle ahead.

Every cycle is unique — your care should be too 💛

How TCM supports fertility, phase by phase

Your cycle isn't one-size-fits-all, neither is fertility care.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fertility care follows your menstrual cycle, from your period to ovulation to implantation.

This is why acupuncture and herbal medicine are never the same every week.
