Study proves that acupuncture increases
pregnancy rates for women undergoing In-Vitro Fertilization. The study concludes that
acupuncture seems to be a useful tool for improving
pregnancy rate after assisted reproductive technology
(ART). This study has been reported
on the national news and in U.S. medical journals,
prompting an increase in referrals from medical
doctors for the use of acupuncture in IVF procedures.
Two groups totalling 160
subjects each
received a standard in-vitro procedure (IVF). One group,
however, also received acupuncture therapy before and
after implantation. The non-acupuncture in-vitro
group had a 26.3% pregnancy rate, while the group
of women who received acupuncture showed a 42.5%
success rate.
Acupuncture has been used to successfully treat
infertility and menstrual cycle disorders for
literally thousands of years. While most modern research
is set up to try to determine why acupuncture works, this
German study demonstrates scientificially
that acupuncture can improve pregnancy rates.
This scientific proof is what American doctors have
been waiting for to be able to confidently recommend
acupuncture to their patients. Doctors in the
Cleveland Clinic are already using these techniques
with an 83% success rate.

 | Acupuncture has been clinically proven to: |
Enhance Egg Quality:
Test results of clients who have undergone acupuncture
have shown that the egg quality significantly
improves.
Enhance the Quality of the Uterine
Lining: A healthy uterine lining
is necessary to help with embryo implantation and to
grow a healthy baby. Acupuncture improves the
flow of healthy blood into the uterus.
Reduce the Chances of Uterine
Contraction After IVF procedures:
Acupuncture relaxes the patient and the uterus so it
won't contract and expel the fertilized egg.
