You can't look very far into natural infertility treatments without stumbling across references to Chinese medicine. Dr. Randine Lewis takes the mystery out of Chinese medicine and natural infertility treatments. While it would be nice if there were a one size fits all cure for infertility, there is solid evidence that Chinese medicine is one natural infertility treatment that works for many women as well as many men.

Chinese medicine is completely different than Western medicine. Where Western doctors look for a treatment for your symptoms, the traditional Chinese doctor will look at your overall health. The traditional Chinese doctor will look beyond infertility and examine your tongue, the various pulses in your body, and ask about everything from your eating habits to your elimination habits.

Dr. Lewis's book "The Infertility Cure" provides the traditional Chinese medicine approach as one natural infertility treatment option. Dr. Lewis addresses nearly all aspects of infertility: recurrent miscarriage, mael-factor infertility, advanced age, anovulation, luteal phase defect, polycystic ovaries, fibroids, and hormonal imbalances. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used alone to improve your fertility or it can be used in conjunction with assisted reproduction technologies.

Some studies have shown that in vitro fertilization and other highly technical assisted reproductive technologies are more effective when paired with acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medical approaches.

Dr. Lewis explains how traditional Chinese medicine works to balance your body and provide the healthiest, most nurturing possible environment for a healthy baby. Traditional Chinese medicine is also shown to be very effective in cases of unexplained infertility. Often a traditional Chinese doctor can detect sub-clinical hormone imbalances and other problems that can prevent pregnancy.

With specific suggestions for treating different types of infertility, "The Infertility Cure" will help you to see a new way to approach natural infertility treatments that you may not have considered.
