Chinese medicine and acupuncture for fertility
Couples trying to conceive are finding success using traditional Chinese medicine treatments:
"Natalie Gueris and her husband tried to get pregnant for 18 months before starting fertility treatments late last year.
But the fertility drug Clomid wreaked havoc on Gueris emotionally and specialists found nothing physically amiss with the couple. The bus and train rides to the clinic during the stormy winter were stressful and after about two months of treatments, the Charlestown couple decided to stop. During these sessions, Gueris began getting acupuncture after finding a pamphlet on it at the suburban fertility clinic. She later began going to a chiropractor to align her spine. Earlier this year, she started taking Chinese herbs.
Today, Gueris, at age 35, is seven and a halfmonths pregnant.
``The combination of going to a chiropractor, the acupuncture and Chinese herbs helped me get pregnant,'' said Gueris. ``It got my body in order.''
With 3 million couples unable to conceive after a year of trying, an increasing number of couples are turning to holistic therapies- many in combination with more traditional infertility treatments."
