TCM Fertility Support Therapies
Embark on a comprehensive and empowering journey towards parenthood as Regis Wellness guide you through the transformative benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in optimising your reproductive health and enhancing fertility.
Holistic TCM Balance for Fertility
At Regis Wellness, we recognise that fertility is intricately connected to your overall well-being. TCM takes a holistic approach, addressing not just symptoms but the root causes of imbalances that may hinder conception. Our focus is on harmonising your entire system, laying the groundwork for successful pregnancy.
Acupuncture for Reproductive Wellness
Experience the time-honoured practice of TCM Acupuncture. Our skilled practitioners strategically place fine needles at specific points to stimulate the flow of energy (Qi), regulate hormonal balance, and enhance blood circulation to the reproductive organs. This ancient technique creates an optimal environment for conception and supports overall reproductive health.
Cupping Therapy for Improved Blood Flow
Explore the benefits of TCM Cupping therapy, another traditional TCM technique. Cupping involves creating suction on the skin's surface, promoting improved blood flow and circulation. This not only enhances the delivery of nutrients to reproductive organs but also aids in the removal of toxins that may hinder fertility.
Moxibustion for Warmth and Vitality
Moxibustion, a warming technique in TCM, involves the burning of dried mugwort near acupuncture points. This therapy aims to invigorate the flow of Qi and blood, promoting warmth and vitality in the reproductive system. Moxibustion is often employed to address underlying imbalances that may affect fertility.
Herbal Empowerment
Discover the potency of TCM herbal medicine, carefully curated to support reproductive health. Our practitioners prescribe herbal formulations based on your unique constitution, addressing specific fertility challenges. These time-tested herbs work synergistically with your body, nourishing and balancing to enhance fertility.
Nutrition and Lifestyle Guidance
Beyond acupuncture, cupping, and herbal remedies, we provide personalised guidance on nutrition and lifestyle choices in line with TCM principles. These recommendations are designed to create a nurturing environment conducive to fertility while promoting your overall well-being.

What is TCM Fertility
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a holistic approach to health and views the body as a complex system where the balance of energy, or Qi, and the harmonious flow of the body's vital substances play a crucial role in overall well-being. Infertility in TCM is often considered a result of imbalance or disharmony in the body, affecting the reproductive system.
What is considered infertility
You may be having infertility issues if you have difficulty conceiving even with regular unprotected Intercourse. Couples who have been engaging in regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for a specified period (typically six months to a year) without achieving pregnancy may be considered to have difficulty conceiving.
Other signs and factors of infertility
Age Considerations: Fertility tends to decline with age, particularly in women. Women over the age of 35 may have a harder time conceiving.
Menstrual Irregularities: Irregular menstrual cycles, including consistently short or long cycles, may indicate potential fertility issues.
Known Health Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or hormonal imbalances, can contribute to infertility.
Previous Pregnancy History: Couples who have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss or have a history of difficulty conceiving in the past may be considered to have fertility challenges.
Male Factor Infertility: Issues related to sperm count, motility, or morphology can contribute to infertility. If a male partner has a known or suspected fertility issue, the couple may be evaluated earlier.
Causes of Infertility from TCM Prespective
- Qi and Blood Deficiency 气血亏虚 – Qi and Blood provide nourishment to the reproductive organs, including the ovaries, uterus, and testes. When Qi and Blood are deficient, these organs may not receive adequate nourishment, leading to dysfunction and potential infertility.
- Kidney deficiency 肾虚 – The Kidneys are associated with the growth, development, and function of the reproductive organs, including the ovaries and uterus in women and the testes in men. Kidney deficiency may lead to weakness or dysfunction of these organs, resulting in difficulties with conception or maintaining a pregnancy.
- Liver Qi Stagnation 肝气郁结 – The Liver is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body. When Qi becomes stagnant or blocked in the Liver, it is referred to as Liver Qi Stagnation. Liver Qi Stagnation can lead to irregularities in the menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods, skipped periods, or premenstrual syndrome (PMS). These irregularities can affect ovulation, making it more challenging to conceive.
- Blood Stasis 血瘀 (Poor Blood Circulation) – Poor circulation of Blood can result in stagnation and the formation of blood clots, impacting the uterine environment. Blood stasis is often associated with conditions like uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, ovarian cysts and blocked fallopian tubes. All these conditions may hinder fertility.
- Dampness and Phlegm 痰多湿重 - TCM recognises the presence of dampness and phlegm as pathogenic factors that can affect fertility. Dampness and Phlegm accumulation can create a toxic environment in the body, leading to oxidative stress and inflammation. This can affect the quality of eggs and sperm, making them less viable for fertilisation and successful pregnancy. Dampness and Phlegm accumulation are common in women with PCOS.
- Cold womb 宫寒 - The uterus is an important organ for fertility, and maintaining its warmth and proper circulation is crucial for reproductive health. An imbalance of the body's Qi specifically in the reproductive system, would result in insufficient warmth and poor circulation in the uterus. This hinders the development of a healthy uterine lining necessary for embryo implantation. Inadequate blood flow can also affect the ovaries and disrupt follicle development, ovulation, and hormone production, all of which are essential for fertility.
