There are some people who criticize acupuncture because it isn’t most practiced in the field of medicine and also it doesn’t have any scientific foundation. Although much is yet to be discovered about the science behind acupuncture, most people especially those of Chinese origin have confidence in it. Acupuncture has been successfully in East African countries. Although among westerners, acupuncture remains controversial. Acupuncture is starting to spread to western world. Many researchers are investigating acupuncture and infertility. Here are some of the reasons why acupuncture proves to work:

Acupuncture boosts the body ability to heal itself by stimulating the central nervous system to release neurohormones.
During acupuncture session, the regulation of blood pressure and flow are altered.
Acupuncture stimulates the reproductive system to produce hormones which in turn enhance ovulation and sperm production in woman and man respectively.
Chinese people have for many years depend on acupuncture as the only method for curing infertility. If the causes of infertility are functional ones such as hormonal imbalance, acupuncture and fertility go together. Acupuncture aims to treat the individual rather the illness itself. So acupuncture is regarded as a holistic approach to infertility.

Acupuncture only treats if the cause of infertility is structural one. Structural infertility causes are like blockage of the fallopian tube. In case of structural causes one is advised to seek medical help.
