Optimizing Ovarian Reserve

How Acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine help

Ovarian Reserve: refers to the number of eggs and follicles remaining in the ovaries. 

There is growing evidence that acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can influence the quality of the eggs remaining in the ovaries.  Many factors can influence ovarian reserve quality such as diet, exercise, acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, emotions, and the environment. 

Acupuncture can benefit ovarian reserve by normalizing hormone levels, improving ovarian response to gonadatropins, increasing blood flow to the ovaries, improving oocyte maturation, and helping to remove the build-up of environmental toxins in the body. 

Optimizing the ovarian reserve involves:

• Decreasing degeneration and re-absorption of an ovarian follicle before it reaches maturity
• Optimizing the ovarian function with the hypothalamus and pituitary
• Reversing the characteristics of ovarian aging
• Replenishing and restoring the follicle supply
