Lucy's Fertility Success Story with Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs + Nutritional Supplements
At the Acupuncture Center of NJ, we support women to increase chances for a natural conception. I met with Lucy and after a lengthy intake and examination, including the traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic methods of feeling the pulse, looking at the tongue, palpating acupuncture meridians and assessing her emotional state I understood that Lucy needed nourishment for her Yin or essence, support for her vital energy or Qi, and more free movement of her blood. In acupuncture and TCM practice these substances are essential to promote follicular development or fertile eggs.
