Acupuncture Therapy for Fertility in Mexico: How It Makes a Difference in Your Reproductive Journey
At Fertilidad Integral, we focus on body–mind wellness. We understand that fertility treatments can be emotionally intense and physically demanding, which is why we integrate complementary therapies such as acupuncture an ancient technique that helps restore balance between body and mind.
In this blog, we’ll explore why acupuncture is relevant in assisted reproduction treatments and when it’s recommended.
Acupuncture: The balance between body and mind
Acupuncture is an ancient technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves stimulating specific points on the body with fine needles to restore the flow of energy, promote relaxation, and achieve physical and emotional balance.
In fertility treatments, acupuncture has become an important ally. It helps reduce stress, improve circulation, and prepare the body for conception.
Main benefits include:
- Improving uterine and ovarian blood flow
- Regulating hormones and ovulation
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Enhancing endometrial receptivity
- Increasing sperm quality in men
How acupuncture integrates into fertility treatments
During assisted reproduction, acupuncture can be applied at key moments to optimize outcomes and overall well-being. At Fertilidad Integral, we recommend it especially:
- Before and after oocyte retrieval: helps relax the body, reduce inflammation, and support recovery.
- During hormonal stimulation: enhances ovarian response, stabilizes sleep, and reduces side effects.
- Before embryo transfer: promotes endometrial receptivity and a deep sense of calm.
Each session is personalized according to the treatment type and patient needs.
Emotional impact of acupuncture on fertility
Stress, anxiety, and frustration are common during fertility treatments and can directly affect hormonal function and the body’s response.
Research shows that elevated levels of cortisol and adrenaline can interfere with ovulation, egg quality, and embryo implantation (Valsamakis et al., 2022). Acupuncture helps counteract these effects by stimulating the release of endorphins, serotonin, and oxytocin, promoting deep relaxation and emotional balance.
Many patients describe the sessions as moments of rest, relief, and reconnection with their bodies helping them build a more positive relationship with both their treatment and themselves.
The Yun Sen technique
Our specialist, Andrés Soot, applies the Yun Sen technique, a Japanese method enriched with Toltec foundations. This approach harmonizes the body’s electromagnetic energy and restores its self-regulation capacity by working on points linked to the reproductive system.
“Before the body becomes pregnant, the mind does.” - Andrés Soot
The goal is to prepare both body and mind to fully receive the benefits of the medical treatment.
