to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Infertility

Infertility can be a challenging and emotionally draining journey for those who long to become parents. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic and natural approach to addressing infertility, complementing conventional Western medical treatments.

TCM views infertility as a result of imbalances within the body's qi (vital energy) and blood flow. It focuses on restoring harmony and balance through various therapies, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, diet, and lifestyle modifications.
