Acupuncture and Fertility

Acupuncture improves fertility
Experience has shown it can help increase the chances of getting pregnant for women and improve virility in men. It also enhances IVF outcomes.
Studies show that acupuncture performed before and after embryo transfer have increased the pregnancy rates in IVF patients. This may be due to acupuncture's ability to improve blood flow to the uterus, relax the uterine muscles, and reduce stress and anxiety.
How it works: The acupuncturist will perform a traditional pulse and tongue diagnosis to evaluate the body. Specific combinations of points stimulate and rebalance the body's energy system, which affects every organ in the body.
The acupuncturist inserts fine, sterile steel needles into the skin in specific points in the feet, wrists, abdomen and head, targeting the reproductive organs. Acupuncture moves blocked "Chi" from areas where it may be too abundant to areas that are deficient, in a direction that encourages fertility.
- Reduces stress by stimulating the release of endorphins. This lowers blood pressure and calms the nerves, which are important for couples trying to conceive.
- Regulates hormones produced in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovaries, which help regulate the menstrual cycle and fertility hormones.
- Regulates the menstrual cycle by enhancing the brain and ovaries to promote ovulation and normal hormone production.
- Improves blood flow to reproductive organs, especially the ovaries to improve the quality and quantity of eggs. It also increases responsiveness to IVF treatment and embryo implantation.
- Sperm health improves by increasing quantity and quality.

At Weho Wellness , we have been serving the West Hollywood community for over 25 years, offering expert acupuncture, chiropractic care, and massage therapy. Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that has stood the test of time, helping people restore balance and enhance their well-being. But what exactly is acupuncture, and how can it benefit you? What is Acupuncture and How Does it Work? Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique that involves the insertion of ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body. These points correspond to meridians—pathways through which energy, or Qi (pronounced "chee"), flows. When Qi is blocked, it can lead to discomfort, stress, and illness. Acupuncture stimulates these points, promoting the free flow of energy, reducing inflammation, and triggering the body's natural healing response. Who Can Benefit from Acupuncture? Acupuncture is for everyone, whether you're looking to maintain overall wellness or address specific health concerns. Many people seek acupuncture for relief from conditions such as: Pain Management – Chronic pain, migraines, arthritis, back pain, and sports injuries. Mental Health – Anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia. Digestive Issues – IBS, bloating, acid reflux, and other gastrointestinal concerns. Immune Support – Strengthening the body’s defense system against seasonal illnesses. Women’s Health & Fertility – Hormonal balance, menstrual irregularities, and pregnancy support. There is No Magic Pill for Health—Wellness is a Process Too often, people seek health solutions only after symptoms appear. However, true wellness is not achieved through a quick fix—it is a journey. Acupuncture is not just for treating ailments; it is a proactive approach to maintaining balance and preventing disease. Many of our long-term clients incorporate acupuncture into their regular self-care routines, much like exercise and healthy eating, to support their overall vitality. Preventative Care: The Key to Lifelong Health Acupuncture is a powerful tool for preventative care. Regular monthly sessions, even when you feel fine, help keep your energy balanced and your body functioning optimally. Just as you don’t wait for your car engine to break down before getting an oil change, you shouldn’t wait until illness strikes before taking care of your health. Examples of Preventative Acupuncture Benefits: A busy professional receives acupuncture to manage stress and prevent burnout. A frequent traveler uses acupuncture to strengthen their immune system and avoid getting sick. An athlete incorporates acupuncture into their routine to prevent injuries and improve performance. A woman in her 30s uses acupuncture to balance her hormones and improve fertility. Why Choose Weho Wellness?

Acupuncture for Post Covid
Understanding Insomnia Treating Insomnia starts with balancing your Yin and Yang. Sleeping is Yin and waking is Yang. You have to do physical or mental Yang activity to become tired. To feel sleepy you need to be active during the day. There may be blockages in the meridians that affect sleep. Insomnia can also involve waking up frequently during the night, waking up too early, or feeling unrefreshed after sleep. Over time, this can take a toll on both physical and mental health. Things that can inhibit sleep are eating too close to bedtime, sleep apnea, caffeine after 3PM or overthinking. Our bodies are not designed to sleep in the daytime. How Acupuncture Works The acupuncturist will will check the body with a Traditional Chinese pulse and tongue diagnosis. Fine needles are inserted into specific points on the body to balance the flow of Chi. This will restore balance in the energetic channels of the body, called Meridians. Treatments improve overall well-being. Benefits of balancing the meridian pathways One of the primary goals of acupuncture is to balance the body's energy. When qi is flowing smoothly, it can help regulate sleep patterns and promote a more restful night. Reducing Stress and Anxiety : Many insomnia sufferers have stress or anxiety. Acupuncture is known to reduce stress hormones and promote a sense of calm. Regulating Sleep Hormones : Acupuncture can influence the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. Studies have shown that acupuncture has increased night-time melatonin levels, helping improve sleep quality. Alleviating Pain : Needles inserted in pain points promote endorphin release, and makes it easier to fall and stay asleep. Combining Acupuncture with Lifestyle Changes Stick to a Sleep Schedule : Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine : Engage in calming activities like reading or taking a warm bath before bed. Limit Caffeine after 3PM and Alcohol : Exercise Regularly : Physical activity promotes better sleep Patient Testimonial- "I struggled with insomnia for years, trying every remedy and medication without much success. Acupuncture turned out to be a game-changer. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep patterns. The needles didn't just help me sleep—they addressed the root causes of my insomnia. The anxiety that kept me awake at night began to melt away, and I felt more balanced overall. I highly recommend acupuncture to anyone dealing with sleep issues. It truly made a world of difference for me." If you have any questions , Book a Consultation. 310-652-3200 www.wehowellness.org
