10 Mar Acupuncture and Fertility

For thousands of years, Chinese women have trusted Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help them conceive.

ZenDen is committed to treating all aspects of fertility. Michael has specialised in fertility and IVF Support Treatments since 2003 and in utilising the latest research in acupuncture and TCM he has assisted 100’s of North Queensland couples in Townsville and surrounds to realise their dream of starting a family.

TCM holds the theory that a woman’s body must be gently nourished and encouraged to bear fruit. Acupuncture offers women and their partners the opportunity to prepare for conception by optimising health. Fertility focussed acupuncture treatment has been found to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, balance hormone levels, regulate the menstrual cycle and help improve the lining of the uterus and the quality of eggs. The can greatly increase the capacity for conception.
