🌿 Acupuncture can increase the chance of IVF embryo transfer success 🌿

I’d like to share a research article from PubMed showing that acupuncture performed 25 minutes before embryo transfer (ET) significantly improved IVF outcomes compared with no acupuncture.

📚 Research link:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7142313/

Many fertility specialists and acupuncturists recommend acupuncture both before and after embryo transfer to help support implantation.

However, in my clinical experience, the best results often come when acupuncture is started earlier. Acupuncture can help:

✨ Improve overall body constitution
✨ Regulate hormones
✨ Improve blood flow to the uterus
✨ Relax the nervous system
✨ Reduce stress during IVF

For patients preparing for IVF, I usually recommend starting acupuncture about 1–3 months before treatment to help your body and mind get fully ready for pregnancy.

If you are planning IVF and want to support your fertility journey naturally, acupuncture can be a helpful part of your preparation.

🌸 Wishing everyone on their fertility journey strength, balance, and hope.

✨ 15 Years of Migraines… Gone After 4 Acupuncture Treatments! ✨

A 67-year-old woman came to my clinic with a history of chronic migraines for 15 years. Her pain was intense—often 6–9/10, lasting for days at a time. The pain centered in her forehead, eyebrows, sinuses, and temples, and got much worse every spring. She had seen multiple doctors, received different diagnoses, but nothing truly helped.

After just 4 acupuncture sessions, her migraines completely went away. 🌿
No more debilitating pain. No more lost days. Just freedom from something she carried for over a decade.

Acupuncture works by restoring balance in the body—reducing tension, regulating circulation, calming the nervous system, and addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.

👉 If you or someone you know struggles with migraines, headaches, or chronic pain, acupuncture may be the solution you’ve been searching for.

🌸 Acupuncture Case Highlight: Menstrual Health Restoration 🌸
Presented by Dr. Yingxin (Joy) Zhao, L.Ac.

🩺 Patient Profile
An 18-year-old female presented with amenorrhea—no menstruation for over 5 years. She never established a regular cycle without birth control medications. Lab results revealed:
Progesterone (P): 0.1
Estradiol (E2): 85
DHEA: 379
LH: 21.8
FSH: 5.9
TSH/T4: Within normal limits

Her OB-GYN noted she wasn’t ovulating and recommended hormone replacement therapy, which induced bleeding but didn’t address the underlying imbalance.

🧠 Emotional & Lifestyle Factors
She reported chronic stress from work and school, recent emotional heartbreak, night sweats, and low energy. Sleep was disrupted, she often felt hot and irritable, and occasionally experienced acne. Digestion and appetite were healthy.

🌿 TCM Diagnosi
Kidney Qi Deficiency
Qi & Blood Deficiency with Stagnation

💆‍♀️ Treatment Strategy
We implemented a phased herbal and acupuncture protocol, targeting:
✅ Nourishment of Kidney Qi
✅ Enhanced Blood circulation
✅ Support for natural ovulation
✅ Regulation of the HPO (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian) axis

Primary Acupuncture Points:
🔹 GB-21, Baliao, ZG
🔹 KI-3, 6, 7; SP-3, 6
🔹 SJ-6 (L), PC-6 (R)

📆 Treatment Progress & Results
After 3 months of consistent care, including 21-day nourishing and 7-day pushing herbal cycles:

✨ She had her first natural period in years, followed by two additional spontaneous cycles
✨ Periods returned with reduced cramps and increased cervical mucus
✨ Emotional state and sleep quality significantly improved

💡 Clinical Insight
This case highlights how acupuncture and herbal medicine can gently reawaken the body’s natural rhythm, even in longstanding menstrual disorders. Every patient is unique—but with personalized care and patience, transformation is possible.

I have had the privilege of being present for every significant milestone in this fortunate mother's life: from the time before she got married, through her wedding day, her initial attempts to conceive, the journey of pregnancy, and even being there to witness the induction of labor on her due date. It brings me immense happiness to be a witness to the blissful life of a woman and the arrival of her precious newborn in this world. The opportunity to be a part of someone's journey through these transformative moments is truly a gift, filled with boundless joy and an overwhelming sense of love. As I continue to share in the life of this lucky mummy, I am reminded to treasure each and every one of these extraordinary moments and to offer my unwavering support and heartfelt congratulations to her. The birth of a baby is a celebration that brings immense happiness to all those involved.
