The same complaints have many people turning to botox.

Increasingly women are turning to acupuncture to boost their chance of becoming pregnant.

Then Adams turned to acupuncture. The research is mixed on whether and how acupuncture can improve fertility, but Adams said she saw results almost immediately after nearly giving up hope.

“I really had to readjust my life and my life story, thinking having a family just wasn’t going to happen for us,” Adams said tearfully.

The popular Florida journalist didn’t meet her husband, Tony Schall, until she was in her 30s and, after they married, they weren’t ready for a family right away. She was 37 when they started trying, with no luck. Both were tested, but doctors couldn’t find the source of the problem.

A multicentre, pragmatic, randomized controlled Acuflash study was conducted in Norway during 2006-07. The study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on postmenopausal symptoms. The participants were given a questionnaire comprising of questions regarding depressed mood, somatic symptoms, anxiety/fears, vasomotor symptoms, sleep problems, sexual behavior, menstrual symptoms, memory/concentration, and attractiveness.

The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of acupuncture along with self-care against self-care alone in treating hot flushes and postmenopausal symptoms.
