What is Acupuncture for Fertility?

Acupuncture is a traditional form of Chinese medicine that has been practiced for more than 3,000 years. Ancient Chinese believed that Qi (pronounced chi) – life energy – can become imbalanced or blocked. This imbalance or blockage can be corrected and health and well-being restored by inserting extremely fine needles into the meridians.

Treatment with acupuncture can alleviate stress, pain, insomnia, and even anxiety. Additionally, it may be used to treat infertility. But how? The following are some ways that this ancient, holistic medicine may be able to help with conception:

· It may increase hormone production. Many forms of fertility treatment use synthetic hormones or medicines that increase hormone production because hormonal imbalances are among the most common causes of infertility.

It is also believed that acupuncture can increase hormone levels, which in turn stimulate reproductive organs. It helps females release eggs properly, regulates their cycles, and increases their chances of becoming pregnant. In men, it may increase sperm production; it also improves the quality of sperm, which can increase the chances of fertilization.

· Improved blood flow in the reproductive organs. The process of acupuncture for fertility involves placing needles at strategic locations throughout the body to affect the reproductive system. By doing so, it is believed that blood flow to these organs will be improved.

Increasing blood flow to the uterus, for example, can help thicken the uterine lining, the part of the body where a fertilized egg becomes implanted. Enhancing blood flow to the testes may help minimize inflammation and boost sperm production, thereby increasing the chances of sperm fertilizing the egg.

· Reduced stress levels. Stress levels have been found to have a negative effect on fertility. When women and men are under a lot of stress, their hormone levels can become out of balance, which can affect their ability to conceive.

Infertility issues can elevate stress levels even further and make conception even more difficult. The presence of endorphins, naturally occurring chemicals that promote relaxation, is one of the ways acupuncture reduces stress levels. A relaxed body leads to increased fertility.

Does It Work?

Acupuncture is also not guaranteed to offer positive results; the same is true for fertility treatments. However, acupuncture has helped many men and women who were having a hard time conceiving to successfully get pregnant.

Some information about Great Neck, NY

Great Neck is a region on Long Island, New York, that covers a peninsula on the North Shore and includes nine villages, among them Great Neck, Great Neck Estates, Great Neck Plaza, Kings Point, and Russell Gardens, and a number of unincorporated areas, as well as an area south of the peninsula near Lake Success and the border territory of Queens. The incorporated village of Great Neck had a population of 9,989 at the 2010 census, while the larger Great Neck area comprises a residential community of some 40,000 people in nine villages and hamlets in the town of North Hempstead, of which Great Neck is the northwestern quadrant. Great Neck has five ZIP Codes (11020–11024), which are united by a park district, one library district, and one school district.

Before the Dutch and English settlers arrived on the peninsula of Great Neck in the 17th century, the Mattinecock Native Americans originally inhabited the shorelines of the peninsula. It was not until 1681 when the European settlers held the first town meeting. The Mattinecock or Metoac used Long Island Sound as a way to both fish and trade with others.

They referred to present-day Great Neck as Menhaden-Ock. It is speculated that they chose this name because of the large amount of fish in the area. With the arrival of the European settlers on the peninsula in the 1640s, Menhaden-Ock evolved into Madnan’s Neck. By 1670, Madnan’s Neck had further evolved into the current name Great Neck. Local legend has it that the name ‘Madnan’s Neck’ is named after Anne (or Nan) Hutchinson. It is said that Anne Hutchinson tried to take over what is considered present-day Kings Point upon her arrival to the peninsula. However, Anne Hutchinson could not actually procure a land grant or deed for the land that she desired. Her temper supposedly earned her the nickname Mad Nan.

On November 18, 1643, the Hempstead Plains, which included the peninsula of Great Neck, was sold to the Reverend Robert Fordham and John Carman. In the beginning, the Mattinecock Indians and the European settlers cooperated and coexisted very well together. The Mattinecock would teach the settlers their knowledge of the land in exchange for new technology from the settlers. The settlers even started using the Indian currency of wampum. However, this peaceful coexistence would not last forever, and the relationship between the Mattinecock and the settlers quickly began to deteriorate. Settlers often began complaining of unfriendly Mattinecock behavior, claiming that the natives would damage their homes and hurt their cattle. On November 18, 1659, the settlers passed a law that forced the natives to pay damages for white property that they had damaged. The problem between the settlers and the Mattinecock natives over land and property kept growing and finally came to a head in 1684. A commission of settlers had been elected and given the power to appease the Mattinecock and their leader Tackapousha. Tackapousha was eventually paid off, and received 120 pounds sterling for his land. Tackapousha eventually died, and his body still rests at the Lakeville AME Zion Church’s cemetery on Community Drive, across the street from North Shore University Hospital. The Lakeville AME Zion Church is one of the oldest churches in New York State.
