Supports IVF
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), successful conception and pregnancy require the harmonious balance of Qi (energy), Blood, Yin, and Yang—particularly in the Kidneys, Liver, and Spleen systems, which govern reproduction and hormonal function.During IVF, Chinese medicine focuses on:
Strengthening the Kidneys: to improve egg and sperm quality and reproductive resilience
Nourishing the Blood: to support endometrial lining thickness and embryo nourishment
Regulating the Liver: to ease emotional stress and support hormone balance
Warming the uterus: to enhance implantation and reduce miscarriage risk
Improving circulation: to the ovaries and uterus, supporting follicle development and embryo transfer
Research shows that acupuncture may increase IVF success rates, particularly when started at least 1–3 months before stimulation. Acupuncture is used to:
Improve ovarian response to stimulation drugs
Enhance uterine lining receptivity
Reduce side effects (e.g., bloating, insomnia, emotional swings)Support calm, focus, and emotional resilience during the IVF cycleAid embryo implantation (before and after transfer)
We often recommend treatment weekly before egg retrieval, and before & after embryo transfer.
Chinese herbal medicine may be used before IVF to regulate cycles, improve egg quality, reduce inflammation, and build the body’s strength—especially if there's been recurrent IVF failure, thin endometrium, poor ovarian reserve, or PCOS.At our clinic, we use a two-phase herbal strategy:
Morning formula: Smooth Liver Qi, nourish Liver Blood—supports ovulation, emotions, and follicular health
Evening formula: Warm Kidney Yang, strengthen uterine function—supports implantation and uterine receptivity
During active IVF medication cycles, herbs may be paused or adjusted, depending on patient preference and RE's (reproductive endocrinologist’s) guidance.
Increases chances of pregnancy and full-term delivery
Supports egg and uterine health naturally
Reduces anxiety, fatigue, and emotional stress
Supports recovery post-retrieval or transfer
Improves overall vitality and future reproductive health
Chinese medicine doesn’t interfere with IVF medications—it complements and strengthens the body's ability to respond well.
