According to some research that is out there today, acupuncture for fertility may be very effective for couples that are undergoing the process of in-vitro fertilization. However, it seems there still is some debate as to whether or not in can generally improve fertility. More research is essentially needed to determine whether or not this therapy alone can help a woman improve her chances of becoming pregnant.
The process of acupuncture is actually based on the theory that "qi" or vital energy is flowing throughout the body within various places. With this process, an acupuncturist is trying to restore health and balance the body's energy by using thin needles along specific points on the body. Despite being an extremely prevalent practice within China for the past 5,000 years, it has only recently become more popular within the United States medical community.
According to recent research by German scientists in 2002, they obtained results from a study that highly suggested that acupuncture can increase the odds of pregnancy among women who were undergoing in-vitro fertilization.
