Acupuncture Curing Morning Sickness

Looking for morning sickness relief? Garden Acupuncture explains how acupuncture and other TCM therapies are great natural remedies for morning sickness.

Morning sickness is usually considered the worst part of a pregnancy. The joyous news of a new child can be severely tempered by the constant nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

Acupuncture has been around for 5,000 years and has been used to help curb those symptoms. Today, celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Fergie embrace this specifically for morning sickness associated with their pregnancies because it does not require medication.

Acupuncture is the insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, which reside on channels or meridians; these are pathways in both the exterior and interior of the body. These points, when needled, can regulate the way in which the body functions.  Generally, an acupuncture treatment for morning sickness will improves blood flow to the uterus and ovaries as well as a selection of points will be used that calm a patient's nervous system.

It helps the body be more receptive to conception for women having difficulties conceiving and then is continued to help reduce the common symptoms associated with pregnancy.  Acupuncture can also normalize ovulation and reduce stress hormones.

Chinese herbs such as ginger for morning sickness are also great ways to treat morning sickness naturally.

Acupuncture may also help male infertility. A few studies have shown that regular treatments significantly improve sperm counts and motility (the strength with which the sperm swim). New research shows that acupuncture can significantly improve the quality and health of sperm, which was published in Fertility and Sterility in 2005.
