TCM to Achieve Emotional Balance for Fertility

By Joaquina Cante

“It is the most powerful creation to have life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift”.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is not new to the arena of infertility. It has been addressing infertility for thousands of years. The most important thing it stresses is for the mother (and father) to be at their healthiest for a healthy, intelligent baby to come into the world. It is also important of the body to be in balance to prevent miscarriages, reduce morning sickness, and other issues related to pregnancy.

TCM first establishes where the imbalance is in the body to determine the best way to address it. Infertility is generally related to the dysfunction of the Liver and Kidney meridian systems, although other organs can also be involved. Once these two major organ systems are brought back into balance the whole body will begin to function properly again.

Another key element that is essential to look at are the emotions. These are energetic vibrations or frequencies created by the mind. Emotions, believe it or not, play a huge role in fertility. The Liver is reactive to emotions like stress, anger, and frustration. While trying to conceive some woman become so nervous or anxious that their bodies refuse to cooperate. Fear is related to the Kidney and can be another emotion that impacts infertility. Any of these emotions left unchecked can negatively affect your chances of becoming pregnant and having a baby to full term.

Simple tips to support Kidney and Liver health for fertility:

Find healthy ways to minimize and release fear, stress and frustration.

Rest as much as possible and don’t overwork or overextend yourself!

Eat foods beneficial for the Liver (sour foods, green foods, eggplant, broccoli, goji berries), and Kidney (salty foods, seafood, black foods, beans and nuts).

Consult with your local Chinese Medicine practitioner to begin an herbal protocol that will support your body.

Begin a regular acupuncture regimen of once per week for a minimum of 3 months.

While this is by no means all you have to do, it is a good place to start. Community Acupuncture is always available to answer any questions you may have and we offer wonderful support for you during your fertility journey.
