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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
