How can Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine support you?

What will a practitioner do?

A practitioner will assess each partner on their reproductive health but also their general health including their sleep quality, digestion, body pains and mental health. The practitioner will observe the patient’s tongue, and palpate their pulse and abdomen to further understand how the patient may have a health imbalance that impacts on their fertility. An individual diagnosis is made and treatment plan tailored to achieve the best result for the patient. This means that the treatment for one person may vary greatly from another.
