Infertility
A great number of factors may contribute
to a couple’s inability to
conceive. Age, genetics, hormonal
irregularity, partner incompatibility,
or uro-genital dysregulation may
all play a role. At The Garden Clinic
we use both Chinese Herbal Medicine
and Homotoxicology (Complex Homeopathy)
to treat some of the possible causes
of infertility.
Chinese Medicine has for centuries
been successful in treating various
gynaecological conditions surrounding
fertility. The text Book of Mountains and Seas,
which as far back as the Warring
States period (476-221 BC), discusses
medical plants used to treat infertility.
According to traditional Chinese
Medicine, infertility may result
from damp accumulation, deficiency
or stagnation of Qi and/or Blood
in the uro-genital region. Over the
centuries Chinese Medicine has refined
its treatments for infertility and
today is considered highly efficacious
either as a sole treatment or in
combination with Western medication
Homotoxicology (Complex Homeopathy)
offers specialist treatment for infertility
by eliminating possible infections
that may inhibit conception. This
field of medicine has also shown
to be effective in resolving hormonal
dysfunction, deficient sperm count/motility,
and irregularity of ovulation.
Optimal nutrition for both partners
is essential for conception and therefore
is also addressed at The Garden Clinic
where treatment programmes are tailored
to an individual or a couple’s
needs.
Preparing for the birth is one of
the most exciting and often most
daunting experiences a woman is likely
to go through in her life. The first
birth is often difficult due to anticipation
and pelvic inflexibility.
Chinese Medicine combines effectively
with Homotoxicology (Complex Homeopathy)
and Shiatsu to cover a broad range
of conditions that commonly arise
during the ante and postnatal periods,
helping to maintain optimal health
and wellbeing for the mother and
baby during pregnancy, aiding a smooth
birth and a swift recovery after
delivery.
The formula Sooth the Foetus in
Chinese Herbal Medicine has been
used for centuries to support the
Qi (energy) and Blood (fluids) for
an easy delivery. The formula is
individually prescribed between the
32nd and 40th weeks, either as a
decoction or powders.
Acupuncture can be used through
out pregnancy to maintain optimal
health of both the baby and the mother. In
traditional Chinese Medicine specific
acupuncture points are used at months
3 and 6 to help detoxify toxins from
the baby.
In Complex Homeopathy, Traumeel is
used to help protect the perineum
from tearing and to encourage healing
after birth. Ubichinon and Coenzyme
Compositum can also be used
to nourish the perineum to help
prevent tearing. Cimicifuga
Homaccord is used for the
prevention of post-natal depression
as well any spinal problems that
might occur during delivery. Acontium-Homoccord could
be extremely efficacious particularly
for the women having their first
pregnancy to ease anxiety about
delivery.
Shiatsu can be used throughout
pregnancy to nourish and support
the mother during the changes
that naturally occur. Shiatsu
has been shown to help alleviate
pain and tension such as at the
lower back or along the shoulder
blades due to the breasts swelling,
and for the overall maintenance
of Qi and fluid circulation. Regular
Shiatsu throughout pregnancy has
also shown to support the developing
immunity for the foetus.
