Take the Holistic Medicine Approach to Fertility & Pregnancy

Having a child is a monumental and life-changing choice. Unfortunately, some individuals have difficulty conceiving on their own and need to seek treatment for infertility. A holistic medicine approach at Giving Nature Center is offering parents support for fertility and pregnancy.

After visiting doctor after doctor, it is still a fact that 10 percent of reproductive-age couples in the United States will have difficulty conceiving a child. There are many contributing factors to infertility for women, including endometriosis, ovulation difficulties, poor egg quality, and other factors that cannot always be explained.

The challenge with conditions like endometriosis – when the endometrial tissue found in the uterine lining grows outside the uterus – is that symptoms aren’t always apparent. Women may often experience painful menstrual periods or intercourse, but may not realize why. Other conditions like ovulation difficulties can also be recognized by an abnormal menstrual cycle. These conditions occur when a mature egg is unable to be released from the ovaries. In the same respect, if the egg is damaged or has chromosomal abnormalities, it will not be able to sustain pregnancy.

In some cases a patient may be diagnosed with an “unexplained fertility problem,” which is often frustrating. This may be attributed to weight problems, excessive exercise, and environmental toxins.

Holistic medicine at Giving Nature Center takes a new approach to fertility and pregnancy. Acupuncture has been widely received as a treatment for infertility and to maintain the mother’s health during pregnancy. The use of acupuncture and herbal therapy at the clinic is designed for each individual woman.

While there are those challenging medical conditions that lead to infertility, sometimes what a mother needs is holistic medicine. Working with Giving Nature Center allows parents to promote and maintain a healthy body and mind, and that may end up being the best fertility treatment.
