Acupuncture For Infertility

Researchers at the Department of Gynecological Endocrinology and Reproduction at the Women’s Hospital, University of Heidelberg, report that “auricular acupuncture seems to offer a valuable alternative therapy for female infertility due to hormone disorders” after research showed that an acupuncture group of 45 patients achieved a higher rate of pregnancy than a similar group treated with hormones, suffered no side effects and reported additional health benefits.

Another German study (Die Beeinflussbarkeit der Samenqualitat durch Akupunktur bei subfertilen Mannern by Fischl. F. et. al) reports improvement in sperm motility, concentration and count after ten acupuncture treatments.
