President Nixon opened the doors to China in the year 1972 when a journalist from the New York Times, James Reston had an appendectomy performed with it used as the anesthetic. This incident definitely gave the due recognition to acupuncture in the United States where even brain surgery was later performed with the aid of it. Currently in America, there are around 8000 acupuncturists, 16 acupuncture schools and 2 medical schools. Under the leadership of Dr. Joseph Helms, UCLA medical school has been teaching it to aspiring physicians all over the world.
The effectiveness of acupuncture is limitless and in fact it can help in infertility as well. The problem of infertility, both in male and female patients, responds to it in a great way. It is also effective in a number of infertility related problems like PMS, amenorrhea, blocked fallopian tubes and others. As advocated by Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM, along with the aid of herbal medications, it can cure infertility in many cases as it addresses the body as a whole and not any particular part or symptom. The core structure of acupuncture was developed by the Chinese Taoists more than 3000 years ago to help stimulate the flow of intrinsic energy within the body which in turn can revitalize the organs and their functions. It works by inserting sterilized acupuncture needles at appropriate points of acupressure. The aim is to release the blocked flow of energy so that the body can start its normal reproductive process.

As a result, the patient derives general health benefits and endocrine system balancing from specific acupuncture along with herbal supplements as added help. It makes the entire process of pregnancy easier and postnatal recuperation faster.
