Acupuncture for fertility, long practiced in China, is starting to become more widely accepted here in the Western world. Us docs at True Potential could not be more excited to see that happening. Thanks to some important studies done in the early 2000s, more and more health professionals are becoming aware of the benefits of acupuncture for enhancing fertility.
The Paulus Protocol
One of the protocols I often use in my practice is taken directly from one of the first studies done by a medical doctor named Wolfgang Paulus.
The Paulus Protocol, as it is called, is typically done right before and right after an embryo transfer during an assisted reproductive therapy such as in-vitro fertilization. The results of this study, showed a 50% increase in successful pregnancies for the women who were given this treatment compared to the women who were not.
In conjunction with constitutional acupuncture to address individual imbalances, I have found the Paulus Protocol to be very useful in helping women achieve their fertility goals, whether they end up conceiving naturally or with some help from modern medicine.
