Acupuncture

Acupuncture proponents have recommended it for a variety of medical conditions that affect fertility. These include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, endometriosis, and issues with ovarian reserve and sperm quality.


Moxibustion

It is often used in gynecologic uterine cold caused by infertility, menstrual pain, and metrorrhagia. Modern medical research suggest that moxibustion can improve ovarian function by inhibiting apoptotic events of naturally aging ovaries and enhancing antioxidant defense ability.
