The Holistic Approach to Pregancy in Chinese Medicine
Whether you are having difficulties conceiving or planning to get pregnant, the holistic approach in Chinese Medicine can help to improve your chances of conceiving.
Instead of focusing purely on the reproductive system, the holistic approach used in Chinese Medicine also considers other areas such as your emotional state, digestion and immune system. By looking at the picture as a whole, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners aim to help to optimize fertility.
In the same way that soil needs to be cultivated before a seed is planted, we aim to cultivate the body in preparation for conception. When you sleep better, digest well and have a good sense of self, your body's reproductive system is healthier.
