Fertility acupuncture

Acupuncture needles stimulate chemicals called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters then travel via the central nervous system to the brain, where they either stimulate or sedate other nerve signals. It's these neurotransmitters that regulate the increase of hormones that affect your ability to become pregnant.  A recent major research concluded that acupuncture improves fertility by regulating fertility hormones.
