Reproductive System Health
At the core of TCM philosophy lies the concept of Qi (pronounced "chee"), the vital energy that flows through the body's meridians, or energy pathways. According to TCM principles, disruptions or imbalances in Qi flow can manifest as various health issues, including those related to reproductive health. TCM practitioners aim to restore balance by stimulating specific acupoints, prescribing herbal remedies, and promoting lifestyle modifications.
Reproductive health is a vital part of our biology during all stages of life, regardless of gender or whether or not we have children. Effective treatment requires expert knowledge of complex systems. Our practitioners have 50+ years of collective clinical experience with advanced training specifically in this area. We also frequently collaborate with primary care physicians, GYN’s, and reproductive endocrinologists to integrate conventional and Whole-System - Traditional Chinese Medicine (WS-TCM).
Our experience in reproductive health includes treatment for:
Menstrual Symptoms & Irregularities
Erectile Dysfunction
Sperm Morphology/Motility/Count
Pelvic Pain
as well as recovery from C-sections, childbirth, and other circumstances. We use modalities such as acupuncture, Chinese herbs, topical remedies, nutritional counseling, ozone sauna therapy, lifestyle recommendations, and stress reduction techniques. In acupuncture treatments, needles are commonly placed in the hands, feet, limbs, back, and abdomen. Needles are never used directly on reproductive organs.
Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, with factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle choices contributing to reproductive challenges. TCM offers a comprehensive approach to fertility enhancement, addressing both physical and emotional aspects of reproductive health.
Acupuncture has gained recognition for its ability to support fertility. By targeting specific acupoints related to reproductive organs and hormonal regulation, acupuncture promotes blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, regulates menstrual cycles, and reduces stress levels—all of which can enhance fertility in both men and women.
In conjunction with acupuncture, herbal medicine plays a vital role in fertility enhancement. TCM herbs such as Dong Quai, Ginseng, and Goji Berries are renowned for their ability to regulate menstrual cycles, improve sperm quality, and enhance overall reproductive function.

Beyond fertility enhancement, TCM offers effective strategies for managing various reproductive conditions, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and erectile dysfunction.
PCOS, characterized by hormonal imbalances and ovarian cysts, can disrupt menstrual cycles and impair fertility. TCM approaches PCOS treatment by targeting underlying imbalances, such as Liver Qi stagnation and Kidney deficiency, through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary adjustments. By restoring hormonal balance and promoting regular ovulation, TCM helps alleviate PCOS symptoms and improve fertility outcomes. Learn more about how to treat PCOS without birth control here.
Endometriosis, a painful condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, can cause infertility and menstrual irregularities. TCM views endometriosis as a manifestation of Blood stasis and Qi stagnation, addressing it through acupuncture to promote circulation, herbal medicine to reduce inflammation, and dietary modifications to support hormonal balance. Integrating TCM into conventional treatment plans can provide holistic relief for endometriosis symptoms and improve reproductive health.
For men experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED), TCM offers natural alternatives to conventional medications. By targeting underlying imbalances such as Kidney Yang deficiency and Liver Qi stagnation, acupuncture and herbal medicine can improve blood flow to the genitals, boost libido, and enhance erectile function. Erectile dysfunction treatment varies depending on individual health factors and preferences. TCM's holistic approach addresses both physical and psychological factors contributing to ED, offering sustainable solutions for men's reproductive health.
