This week I had two wonderful what I called “health miracles” reported to me. One is a woman age 31, diagnosed with low ovarian reserve and irregular cycles, who had not had a regular cycle in four months, got her period back and then ovulated after 6 weeks of acupuncture and Holistic medicine coaching. Another woman who has been diagnosed with infertility, still in her 30’s, and also had only a25 day cycles for over 10 years, after only 4 weeks of acupuncture and holistic medicine/nutrition had a perfect 28 day cycle! The body responds very quickly to natural medicine, nutrition and increased blood flow! The relaxation that the acupuncture, yoga and acupressure provides has measurable results. There is hope!
My teacher, Dr. Miriam Lee OMD, used to say that “age trumps any blood tests, diagnosis or symptom”. As long as a woman is still in her reproductive years there is always a chance to heal, repair and restore the innate fertility that God has put in us~
Speaking of fertility mindset, Vision Boards are a powerful tool to replace negative, defeating conversations in your mind. Here is one I made for myself many years ago when I was struggling with undiagnosed hypothyroidism, irregular cycles and even miscarriage. It has a quote from Baba Hari Das that went something like “Equal rest, equal work and equal play” that “the mind becomes restless with too much work”.
My Acupuncture teacher, Dr. Miriam Lee OMD taught me about how to treat infertility and she said that woman live on “strong blood” and men on “qi” (energy), and that when the blood becomes weak there is infertility and the woman is plagued with worrying. That there is a mind body connection to our brain and the strength of our blood, which is made in our gut. This has been confirmed by many western doctors too (see here).
I recommend that my patients make Vision Boards and use external-journal/checklists to track their positive health actions.
Here are ways vision Boards may have a positive impact on boosting fertility naturally:
Vision boards are based on the principle of visualization, which is the process of creating mental images of desired outcomes. When it comes to impacting the subconscious and fertility success, vision boards can play a role in a couple of ways:
Positive Visualization: Vision boards are typically filled with images, affirmations, and symbols representing one's goals and desires, including fertility success. By regularly viewing these images and affirmations, individuals can reinforce positive thoughts and beliefs related to their fertility journey. This process can help to counteract negative thoughts or doubts that may be present in the subconscious mind.
Law of Attraction: The concept of the law of attraction suggests that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life. By focusing on positive images and affirmations related to fertility success, individuals may attract positive energy and experiences related to their fertility journey. This can influence the subconscious mind and create a more positive mindset, potentially enhancing the chances of fertility success.
Stress Reduction: Fertility can be a stressful journey for many individuals and couples. Stress can negatively impact fertility by affecting hormone levels and reproductive function. Vision boards can serve as a tool for stress reduction by providing a visual representation of hope and positivity. By reducing stress levels, individuals may create a more conducive environment for conception.
Goal Setting and Focus: Creating a vision board requires individuals to clarify their goals and desires related to fertility. By visually representing these goals, individuals are more likely to stay focused and motivated on their fertility journey. This clarity of purpose can positively influence the subconscious mind and increase determination and perseverance in pursuing fertility success.
It's important to note that while vision boards can be a helpful tool in supporting fertility success, they should not be viewed as a standalone solution. Fertility is influenced by various factors, including physical health, emotional well-being, and medical interventions if necessary. Vision boards can complement other fertility-enhancing strategies, such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, seeking medical advice when needed, and practicing stress-reduction techniques.
I always aim to help teach woman how to strengthen their blood and men how to strengthen their qi when assisting them in boosting their fertility (see previous substacks I have written on this).
I help women get pregnant, stay pregnant and have healthy babies. If I can be of assistance to you or anyone you know, please share this Substack. I offer free 15 minute Q and A’s on my website online calendar, as well as virtual or in clinic programs that include Acupuncture, Oriental medicine and Natural functional medicine. I also have a DIY 4 Step Boosting Fertility Naturally program on my website.
Fertility is Natural, Trust Nature
