Katie McBrearty-Shields, Tx., L.Ac., treats infertility. Everyday couples are told they are infertile, but it is important to remember that the human body is meant to reproduce. The reality is that in a majority of cases women are not infertile but imbalanced. We should look at what we can do to improve our health and attain a balance rather than looking for a pill that we can take to become pregnant. Once balance is restored to our body -- reproduction can occur. Acupuncture along with herbal formulas can enhance the body and achieve balance which in turn enhances the reproductive system.
Many of the couples I have worked with have tried numerous western medical treatments. Acupuncture works great on its own or in tandem with western treatments. Either way Oriental Medicine increases the odds of successfully becoming pregnant.
When women come to me with infertility issues, they have usually tried many other techniques, but with no success. That's not to say the information they have collected isn't valuable. I am able to take the knowledge that they have already collected and combine this with my knowledge of Oriental medicine. By using this combination of knowledge I can restore balance to the body in a timely manner.
Some of the tools I use to help patients achieve pregnancy are, Basal Body Charts to help me track the individuals cycle enabling me to determine in which phase the imbalance is occurring, tongue and pulse diagnoses to guide the treatments which are chosen for you, herbal medicines which are made with the highest guidelines and standards. All herbs used during treatments are made from the highest quality of ingredients, and come from trusted names in the herbal medicine business.
Some practitioners of western medicine would prefer that herbal remedies not be used during pregnancy, and at Ancient Arts Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine, my goal is to work with you, and your doctor. Together we will come up with a plan that works best for you.
My goal is to make each patient a partner in their health care. When we work together with diet, exercise, acupuncture and herbal medicine, optimum health is established and in turn the natural reproduction system will be restored.
