Conceiving naturally with acupuncture & herbs
At taproot, we have helped many patients get the positive pregnancy test they were hoping for.
Acupuncture can help both partners optimize fertility, regulate hormones and lift blocages.
​
Our fertility protocol is most effective with a minimum of 3 months of consistent treatment. Acupuncture goes to the root of things, and fertility is a slow race, no a sprint !
If you have an underlying condition, or are over 35, it may take longer, but do not despair, success is very possible.
Fertility acupuncture: who is it for?
Anyone can benefit from fertility acupuncture when trying to conceive. It is even more important to seek help from a holistic fertility specialist if:
​
- You are 35 years old or older
- You have been trying for a year
- You have PCOS, endometriosis, or other conditions
- You have experienced multiple pregnancy losses
- You have been diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve
- Your cycles are irregular or absent
- You just got off the pill and need a reboot
​
How does it work?
Acupuncture works by:
- increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs
- lowers stress levels
- balancing hormones
​
We recommend to all our fertility patients to commit to at least 3 months of regular acupuncture & herbs. This time before conception will allow your whole body to reach a healthier baseline and increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy. We will also offer lifestyle, supplements & nutrition insights.

Your acupuncture treatment plan
Acupuncture is a cumulative medicine: the more you do, the more benefits you reap. We recommend 3 months minimum, because this is the minimum time a follicle needs to mature into a healthy egg. If you are suffering from conditions like PCOS for example, or if you are over 40 years old, it might take longer.
