Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine effectively work for female infertility

Studies show that Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine effectively work for female infertility:

Studies have shown that Chinese herbal medicine is effective in cases of female infertility. Additionally it has also been shown to have a positive effect on pregnancy rates. One study conducted a systematic review by consolidating many abstracts from research databases to see TCM’s effect on infertility.

The review concluded that Chinese Herbal Medicine used to treat female infertility can improve pregnancy rates 2-fold within a 4 month period compared with Western Medicine fertility drug therapy or IVF. Additionally, the quality of the menstrual cycle, which is integral to TCM diagnosis, appears to be fundamental to successful treatment of female infertility. (Source).

Pregnant after 12 years of marriage and infertility treatments| Acupuncture of Dallas

Dr. Lin Zhou was a blessing to my family! My husband and I were trying to have a baby for the past 12 years. Due to my PCOS and his low sperm count issue our attempts were never successful. After two failed IUI in India we moved to Dallas, hoping for a better treatment.

As I turned 37 and after 12 years of marriage we decided to go for IVF, considering our continues failed attempts and age factor 🙁

At the same time, I was concerned about the side effects of hormone injections and medicines. While I was looking for treatments to complement IVF,  I came across Dr. Lin Zhou’s reproductive acupuncture treatment. I read positive reviews about her and decided to take acupuncture with Dr. Zhou as she has wide knowledge in the field and experience.

My husband and I started our treatment during July 2016 and to our great surprise I conceived the same month but it didn’t last more than 7 weeks. We commenced the treatment after a gap of 2 months. Dr. Zhou calculated my ovulation and asked me to chart my temperature. Once a week of  acupuncture treatments, her herbal medicines and ovulation tracking helped me to get pregnant in November 2016. By God’s Grace I delivered a healthy girl baby in August 2017! I have no words to describe how grateful I am to Dr. Zhou. She helped our 12 years of prayer to come true with her magical touch and concern during the consultation . I highly recommend Dr. Zhou for infertility treatments and she will always be in my prayers and memory!

Healthy Diet for balancing your hormones

We hope that everyone had a happy holiday and are looking forward to the new year! If your new year resolution is to be healthier, diet is one of the most important ways to change your lifestyle. Below we have listed some general guidelines for a healthy diet that will help balance your hormones. In future posts, we will break down exactly what kind of foods should be eaten.

The three main macronutrients that make up a diet are Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat. All three are important elements of a healthy, well-balanced diet.By basing your meals off one clean protein, healthy fats and vegetables along with the help of Chinese herbs will help your body regulate hormones naturally.

Carbohydrates have long been viewed as the enemy for hormonal imbalances such as those who suffer from PCOS. While it is true that carbohydrates with a high glycemic index(GI) can cause insulin resistance, it is important to have a balanced diet which includes carbohydrates! There are many foods that are low in glycemic index(which means they have low insulin resistance). By focusing on these low GI foods you can still enjoy carbohydrates and balance your hormones. Later, we will break down a list of low glycemic foods.

Protein provides essential amino acids to the body that the body cannot make on its own and must be consumed daily to balance hormones. Protein also decreases the hunger hormone and stimulates the production of hormones that will make you feel fuller faster. For optimal hormone health, experts recommend consuming a minimum of 20-30g. of protein per meal (1).

Fat especially is important in regulating hormones. Since hormones are produced by specific fatty acids and cholesterol, without them the body simply cannot form the correct hormones. Medium chain triglycerides, for example, have been shown to reduce insulin resistance in overweight and diabetic patients. Additionally, consuming healthy fats at every meal will trigger the same hunger hormones as above and will fill you up faster.
