Naturopathy is a natural fertility treatment that has become an increasingly popular option for couples having difficulty getting pregnant. Naturopathy works by alleviating fertility problems by using a holistic approach that aims to improve an individual’s overall health: physical, mental and emotional. As such, naturopathic medicine has been used to treat both female infertility and male infertility in order to improve an individual’s chances of getting pregnant.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been used to treat women’s health issues, including infertility, for thousands of years. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have proven to be effective on their own or in combination with in-vitro fertilization or intrauterine insemination. Studies have shown that acupuncture helps to increase positive outcomes for IVF treatments by up to 60%. Sean Doherty is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist who specializes in working with couples with fertility issues. Sean works to determine the root cause for the infertility from a Chinese medicine perspective, and may use a combination of acupuncture, herbs, and dietary counseling to restore balance.
Like all other doctors, naturopathic practitioners assess their clients’ health with standard diagnostic procedures, such as physical examinations, medical histories, and appropriate laboratory tests. In the best interest of their patients, naturopathic physicians cooperate with and refer patients to infertility and other specialists when necessary. The primary difference between naturopathic and allopathic (conventional) care lies in philosophies and treatments.
Exposure to environmental chemicals and pollutants can affect your fertility by influencing body chemistry. Xenoestrogens, heavy metals and other contaminants can disturb hormone balances and block your body’s absorption and utilization of minerals and vitamins critical to the reproductive process. This can affect things such as quality and quantity of sperm production, ovulation, and hormonal balances necessary to support implantation and pregnancy. Hair mineral analysis is the most commonly used naturopathic diagnostic test for environmental factors. Herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation and homoeopathy can all be used to address any problems which have been identified. These therapies can be used to assist your body to safely reduce the amount of contaminants. Your body can then be rebalanced using herbal medicine or nutritional supplementation using an individually designed program to address your specific needs.
Regardless of whether the infertility is attributed to male or female factors, the embryo receives half its DNA from each parent. It is highly desirable that both parents are in their best possible health prior to conception.
