Fertility Support

Introduction to Our Fertility Support Program

At Lotus Care Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, we provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to fertility support through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Our structured fertility enhancement program integrates herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, therapeutic massage, and lifestyle guidance tailored to your unique needs.

Our fertility treatment involves clearly defined phases:

1. Pre-Conception Conditioning (1–3 cycles)
Regulate menstrual cycles, enhance uterine and ovarian health, and prepare your body optimally for conception.

2. Ovulation Promotion (Cycle Day 8–14)
Encourage follicular development and healthy ovulation with targeted acupuncture and herbal therapy.

3. Luteal Support (Post-ovulation)
Strengthen uterine lining, stabilize hormonal balance, and facilitate embryo implantation.

4. Pregnancy Support (Conception–12 weeks)
Secure early pregnancy by nurturing Kidney Qi and Blood, reducing risks, and encouraging fetal stability.

Common Patterns of Disharmony Impacting Fertility

Are You Experiencing Irregular Menstrual Bleeding?

Whether you’ve experienced any of the following, each varying case may be due to different underlying dis-harmony in the body. With the help of our intake process we can verify which pattern of disharmony can be rectified (brought into harmony) for your well-being and fertility journey.

—Amenorrhea (lack of menstrual bleeding)

—Dysmenorrhea (Painful Menstrual Cramps during bleeds)

—Menorrhagia (Heavy Menstrual Bleeding, sometimes prolonged bleeding)

— Premenstrual Syndrome (Physical &/or Psychological symptoms arising prior to Menstrual Bleeding)

—Oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstrual bleeding)

—Hypomenorrhea (very light periods, nearly spotting)

Do You Have History of Anxious Habits?

Relaxation is one of the key factors in Traditional Chinese Medicine’s approach to impacting Fertility for the better.

In the initial stages, points such as Yintang, Pericardium 6 (NeiGuan) & ST36 (ZuSanLi) are great options for directly lowering cortisol (a stress hormone), and calming the Shen (Spirit of the Heart & Mind).

Stress is a factor of each person’s life, yet, it is usually heightened when individuals are on a journey of fertility imbalances.

Besides the calming & nourishing benefits of Acupuncture lasting 1-2 weeks (depending on each person), herbal medicine is a great option to prolong care beyond the clinic visits.

What is the Lotus Care Perspective?

Our experienced practitioners offer individualized treatment plans based on TCM syndrome differentiation aligned with Western medical diagnoses such as

– Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

– hormonal imbalances

– endometriosis

– thin uterine lining

– tubal adhesions

– decreased ovarian reserve

– immunological infertility.

Integrative therapies we apply include:

• Personalized Herbal Formulas

• Acupuncture and Electro-acupuncture

• Gentle Electric Moxibustion Heat Therapy (further increasing circulation of Blood and Qi to the abdomen and uterus)

• Therapeutic Massage & Pelvic Physiotherapy Techniques (Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine Tuina Massage)

• Lifestyle and Nutritional Coaching

Clinical evidence supports that 3–6 months of dedicated TCM treatment significantly improves natural conception rates and optimizes success in assisted reproductive techniques (IVF/IUI). We are committed to guiding and supporting you through every step of your fertility journey, empowering you towards optimal health and wellness.
