It eventually happens to almost every group of friends. Unfortunately, almost every group of friends also has a couple that doesn’t have kids simultaneously as everyone else. In some cases, this is intentional. In others, they are fighting infertility, trying one method of fertility enhancement after another in an attempt to start their own family.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a holistic approach to improve fertility and heal the body, mind, and spirit. The treatment starts well before actively trying to conceive and involves a range of practices such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, diet, and exercise to prepare a woman’s body for pregnancy. On the other hand, modern Western medicine tends to focus on a shorter-term approach that mainly deals with a woman’s fertility during pregnancy.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) gives equal importance to both immediate and long-term fertility. Acupuncture and herbal remedies are crucial components for enhancing fertility in both men and women. An acupuncturist can work closely with a fertility specialist who specializes in modern methods of fertility enhancement.
Individuals seeking fertility enhancement through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Boulder, Colorado, like in other parts of the United States, typically undergo a series of medical tests to receive a diagnosis from Western Medicine. Such individuals often look for ways to improve the effectiveness of Western treatment. A medical diagnosis can help direct the TCM methods used in treatment.
Many individuals who struggle with infertility turn to Traditional Chinese Medicine, which offers a holistic approach that may address underlying issues through the use of acupuncture, herbs, and dietary changes.

Acupuncture therapy and other traditional Chinese medicine methods are not exclusively for women trying to get pregnant. Male infertility is equally common as female infertility. These treatments may assist in increasing not only the sperm count but also the viability of sperm in males.
