Massage and Acupuncture for Fertility Health

You may have heard that massage or acupuncture is a great form of stress relief. You would be correct! Did you know that it can also help with your fertility health and used to increase your chances of conception? According to NCBI, “There are a number of studies that show that massage appears to decrease psychological stress”. There are several benefits to each and this post is aimed to help you determine if it is something you should try out.

Fertility Massage Benefits

Cleanse

The first benefit of a fertility massage is to promote cleansing properties. There are certain techniques you can perform to stimulate your lymphatic system. We’ve discussed cleansing and detoxing before and it truly is so important to do to create the best environment for your future baby and yourself. It purifies your system and helps promote balance.

Blood flow

Increasing your blood flow to organs and the uterus helps nourish and increase functionality. When our blood flow is increased to our uterus, it may help thicken our lining and support egg health. A thick endometrium lining promotes a healthy conception and pregnancy.

Relaxation

Massage, in general, can help promote restfulness and restoration. This is important to help reduce the stress load being carried by those going through their trying to conceive journey and infertility struggles.

If this is something you are interested in, there are sites out there to show you how to do it yourself at home. While this may be a great option for many, it is important to know you may not receive all the wonderful benefits by doing it yourself rather than if you go to a trained specialist. When searching for a trained individual, you should look for someone qualified to do fertility massage or Mayan Abdominal Massage, such as an Arvigo Practitioner.

Acupuncture for Fertility Benefits

Much like fertility massage, acupuncture for fertility includes increasing blood flow, reducing stress levels, balancing hormones, and promoting a healthy egg. Acupuncture is also used to promote spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional balance.

Acupuncture will treat many types of infertility issues. Follicular and ovarian function can be improved with treatment, as well as improving the endometrium lining and thickness. It cannot be used to treat any infertility related issues such as tubal adhesions or endometriosis.

If you have never done acupuncture before, it can be a different experience. Finding a quality clinic for your treatments is number one and ensuring they do fertility health. Go into your appointment hydrated and be prepared to lay silently for a while. You will need to try and relax. Remember, it will take more than one appointment to see maximum benefits to your treatments just like any other treatment can. It is recommended to do treatments for three to four months prior to moving forward with more intensive treatments with the fertility specialist.
