Welcome to my blog!

I'm an acupuncturist, teacher, fertility specialist, patient centered advocate, mom, activist and more! This blog is a place for me to write down the things on my mind, the things I discuss over and over, and the things I find helpful, interesting, and inspiring all in the hope that someone else out there, maybe YOU, will find some of these things to be helpful, interesting and inspiring too. I love learning, I love sharing, and I am passionate about helping others lead more balanced, fertile, and healthy lives - while trying to do the same myself. So here goes... The Blogging Life...

Acupuncture for Male Factor

See the full article here (with chart)

This is a nice article reviewing the research that has been done on acupuncture and male factor infertility.  It reviews the individual studies/outcomes as well as states the overall findings... complete with a handy chart that reviews motility, concentration and volume.

Article Title: A prospective randomized placebo-controlled study of the effect of acupuncture in infertile patients with severe oligoasthenozoospermia


Results: The results of the present study support the significance of acupuncture in male patients with severe oligoastheno- zoospermia. More evidence has to be accumulated before the efficacy and effectiveness of acupuncture in male infer- tility can be evaluated.
