Thinking about taking herbs or other medicines from the world of TCM? Check with your doctor first to make sure they don’t interfere with any other medications you may be taking.

Medicine

2. According to the TMC
practitioner , stressful
lifestyle pulls the blood flow
from reproductive organs
and funnels instead to arms
and legs. In this situation
Acupuncture helps
reproductive organs to get
optimal blood flow or try
focused relaxation.

3. Conception becomes tricky
when your reproductive hormones are
off-kilter. Stress mainly causes
hormonal imbalance and stress in
lifestyle may produce more of the
prolactin which impede ovulation.
Using TMC is very beneficial to back
the hormones into balance.

4. According to TCM, two of the most
common organ systems addressed in
fertility are the liver and the lungs. The
liver is related to anger, frustration,
stress, and desire. So, it’s no wonder
why one of the most common TCM
diagnoses for infertility is Liver Qi
stagnation. The lungs are related to
sadness, grief, and holding on. How to
get the fertility “chi” flowing? Make
sure to find time to calm your mind
through acupuncture, yoga, or
meditation.

5. If you’re trying to become
pregnant, eliminate damp food
like milk, cheese, yogurt,
butter, ice cream, greasy foods,
and alcohol. Wet clothing,
humid environments, and
moist basements should also be
avoided. Dampness
accumulates in our bodies and
causes blockages in the form
of cysts and fibroids that can
make getting pregnant
difficult, says practitioners of
TCM.

6. Charting your basal body
temperature can help you
determine when you’re
ovulating, whether
ovulation occurs on the
optimal day and if your
body is at a temperature
conducive for fertility.
Western medicine believes
in this one, too! Look for
special basal thermometers
at your local pharmacy.

7. Make sure your body is
receptive to conception. If you
are constantly expending all of
your energy working out or
following the latest fad diet,
there may not be enough
energy left to support new life.
In other words: everything in
moderation.

8. The more emphasis we put on our
tries for a baby not succeeding in
any given month, the more stress
and frustration we create for
ourselves. This in turn, may create
more fertility hurdles. In TCM, it is
thought that having a passive
attitude toward your outcome and
being more conscious of the process
are what will help you maintain
balance and, ultimately, give you the
results you want.
