"It can allow you to cross the line from infertile to fertile by helping your body function more efficiently, which in turn allows other, more modern reproductive treatments, like IVF, to also work more efficiently," says James Dillard, MD, assistant clinical professor, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and clinical adviser to Columbia's Rosenthal Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Researchers have confirmed its benefit in the following areas:
-Regulate menstrual cycle.
-Improve sperm count and motility.
-Reduce stress and anxiety associated with infertility.
-Normalize hormone and endocrine systems.
-Improve blood flow in the uterus.
-Decrease chance of miscarriage.
-Increase the chance of pregnancy for women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
DID YOU KNOW:
Did you know that Naval Piercings are considered a big no-no (in regards to fertility & acupuncture)?
A navel piercing may seem like a benign adornment, but acupuncture theory strongly suggests that this is not a healthy or safe practice.
The problem is that the piercing is creating a semi-permanent obstruction in the flow of a very important energy channel known as the Conception Vessel (or Ren Mai in Chinese). The conception runs from between the legs up the front of the body, ending below the mouth. The navel is an acupuncture point on the Conception Vessel- CV-8. You may also notice CV-8 is a point that one is specifically forbidden to needle.
When an obstruction like a navel piercing is placed in a channel it creates a physical blockage to the flow of the channel. The piercing represents a constant interruption in the energetic field of the body. As you might gather from its name in English, the Conception Vessel is a very important channel in the energetics of the reproductive system.
Consequently the blockage created by the piercing can possibly lead to problems down the road, particularly with the reproductive system:
-Infertility
-Amenorrhea (no menstrual periods)
-Cervical Dysplasia (abnormal cells of the cervix which may lead to cancer)
-Uterine fibroids
-Endometriosis
