Acupuncture has grown in popularity in the United States in recent years, but this form of ancient Eastern medicine has origins anywhere from 3,000 to 4,000 years ago.

As research has evolved, experts are finding that acupuncture can offer a host of benefits for woman’s health, including aiding in fertility, relieving nausea during pregnancy, and treating pain conditions. Before we dig into the benefits of acupuncture, let’s explore how it works.

As mentioned from our previous blogs, acupuncture is based on the belief that the body has 2,000 acupuncture points that are connected by pathways, also known as meridians. These pathways allow for the flow of energy (or “Qi,” pronounced like “chee”) through the body. By placing tiny needles on different acupressure points, it can help improve the circulation of Qi throughout the body.

The thought of being pricked with needles may seem scary at first, but there’s no need to worry. These needles are made of a super fine gauge, so you shouldn’t feel any pain. If you do experience any discomfort for any reason, you can simply ask your provider to remove the needle.

Acupuncture has been proven effective in treating a variety of conditions from helping to relieve nausea during pregnancy, to supporting fertility, to relieving pain associated with periods, and even reducing menopause symptoms. More on each of these below.

Pregnancy

Nausea during pregnancy, or hyperemesis, is a common condition. Studies show that acupuncture can be helpful, in addition to other medications, in relieving nausea.

There is a pressure point, Pericardium 6 (P6), found on the inside of the wrist, that connects the meridian along the arm, up into the chest and upper abdomen. By applying specific pressure to the point, it can help to relieve nausea.

Fertility

According to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, acupuncture may help relieve some of the side effects associated with fertility drugs (such as bloating and nausea) and promote relaxation. Research also shows that for patients undergoing In Vitro Fertilization, utilizing acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer can aid in increasing pregnancy rates.

Every patient is different. Depending on the condition, some women may find relief by doing acupuncture once a month, while others may prefer to do it every few weeks. What’s most important is to find an acupuncturist that you feel comfortable with.

Pain Conditions

Acupuncture has been proven in studies to help with conditions like dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), adenomyosis, and endometriosis. Pain is regulated through our nervous system, and our nervous system is made up of energy.

When that energy becomes blocked, we can experience pain. Acupuncture has been shown to help unblock the energy and trigger the release of endorphins to help with pain management.

Menopause

During menopause, women experience a drop in estrogen levels and a spike in cortisol levels. Acupuncture can target the adrenal gland and help reduce cortisol levels, which in turn can help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood disturbances.
