Chinese herbs for fertility
In certain cases, we may suggest that patients take Chinese herbs in conjunction with acupuncture to increase their fertility. These Chinese herbs are specifically tailored to your body’s condition and are quite safe and generally side-effect free. The herbs come in powdered form and are taken twice a day, dissolved in warm water. We usually see patients with particular difficult fertility cases getting pregnant faster with Chinese herbs because unlike acupuncture, which is done 1-2 times a week, herbs can be taken every day and have a more steady, constant effect.
