Stress, Fertility and Acupuncture – How are they connected?

Can stress affect a woman’s ability to become  pregnant?

A new study says it may!!  Read this article from The New York Times ‘Stress May Affect Fertility‘. Acupuncture has proven effective in assisting women and men with their fertility and it is especially helpful in lowering stress levels. In women, research has shown acupuncture can be used to increase blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, regulate hormones, increase blood flow throughout the body and reduce stress. This allows the body to decrease cortisol (stress hormone) levels and improve the endometrial lining and egg quality. Receiving acupuncture on a regular basis while trying to conceive will prepare your body both physically and mentally.
