Acupuncture for Infertility

Acupuncture for Infertility
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. It's Chinese in origin and still practiced today all over the world. I've tried it, for headaches, which it definitely helped. Acupuncture claims to be helpful for many things - pain, weight loss, smoking. According to the Lung Association:
Acupuncture and related therapies: Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese healing. It uses needles to stimulate energy points in the body. Acupuncture is promoted as a way to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms in people who quit smoking.

But what we're concerned with here is the use of acupuncture in the treatment of infertility. It's said to help by improving ovarian function. An article in Health-Offline Blogspot has this to say about acupuncture and infertility:
Acupuncture and infertility are akin to hand and glove when it comes to couples having functional rather than structural infertility issues. A good example of a structural infertility problem would be a woman with a damaged fallopian tubelinks. On the other hand, couples having functional infertility would have a much higher rate of success by supplementing their standard medical treatment with acupuncture. As time passes, there has been a growing acceptance of acupuncture and infertility where acupuncture has been found to help in treating infertility.

It's not going to work in every case, but it might be worth a try.
