A TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE LOOK AT INFERTILITY
As TCM practitioners we believe that the body’s fundamental organs have a major role to play in ensuring that all bodily systems are working in harmony. This includes our reproductive system which we believe needs to be in perfect balance in order to maximise your chances of conceiving.
As well as believing that the body’s fundamental organs have a major role to play in our overall wellbeing, TCM practitioners take into account the following key factors.
The six climatic changes
Classical texts suggest that in the natural world, wind, cold, summer heat, damp, dryness and fire are termed as the six types of environmental Qi.
The seven emotions
The seven emotions refer to the human mental and emotional activity. In TCM they are classified into seven categories: joy, anger, anxiety, preoccupation, sorrow, fear and fright.
It is understood in TCM that extreme emotional changes can bring about different influences upon the internal functions of TCM organs.
Diet and exercise
It is known that eating irregularly, or eating the wrong amount of food affects the body’s digestive ability. In TCM if the food can’t be decomposed and transported and transformed, Spleen Qi deficiency can result.
Normal physical exercise is beneficial to the smooth, healthy running of the human body. This is believed to increase physical strength and prevents illness.
