Acupuncture is effective at relieving stress and thus, increasing chances of conception

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, stress acts as a traffic jammer, preventing the free flow of energy throughout the body. This is most easily related to the Western idea that stress causes muscle tension- in both cases, circulation to muscles is reduced, causing pain tightness and limited range of motion. Acupuncture seeks to unblock these pathways to help the energy flow smoothly. 

• Acupuncture naturally regulates the body’s chemical balance 
• Acupuncture releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals.
• Acupuncture improves circulation of blood through the body, oxygenating tissues
• Acupuncture facilitates the flushing out of waste chemicals such as cortisol
• Acupuncture helps to decrease heart rate, lower blood pressure and relax muscles. 

Acupuncture is an amazing way to treat stress without drugs or therapy; the process itself is relaxing and influences calm for days after treatment.
