Holistic Approach
Five element acupuncture is generally not symptomatically based, but has the aim that by viewing the person as a whole and the underlying cause of imbalance, all other symptoms will then in-turn become restored to their natural state.
Stress and Fertility
Since becoming an acupuncturist and continuing post-graduate studies, I have become extremely interested in fertility and stress related issues, especially as stress and anxiety can be the root cause of why we may be unable to function according to how Nature intended, with infertility being one such example of this.
Moreover, it is for this very reason why five element acupuncture can be particularly so successful, working with Nature, helping to restore harmony and wellbeing. Thus allowing couples, to be in the best condition by which they can then conceive, even if this is achieved through assisted means.
Lifestyle advice is also essential, ensuring the process remains a shared experience, whereby both partners make any necessary changes and do everything they can to try and conceive and maintain health.
One such factor being aiming to reduce stress levels and unnecessary pressures that can prevent this from happening, as the aim should still ideally be for it to remain as enjoyable as possible, with the whole journey becoming a wonderful experience.
Therefore, acupuncture can continue during and after pregnancy aiming to ensure everyone remains in the best of health. However, acupuncture can also greatly help couples deal with any emotional upset experienced throughout this whole process.
