If you fall into any of these categories then you may wish to use complementary treatments as a support like many other couples have.
Getting pregnant is not as easy for some couples as it is for others, and they can find themselves in a very stressful situation which in turn may become the issue about when they cannot conceive.
The following treatments are the most popular treatments used for fertility issues & preconception at Calm and Clear Complementary Therapies:
However, all of the Calm and Clear Complementary Therapies treatments are excellent for use during this time.
The treatments can support both women and men for all aspects of preconception, as per the list above. Including if you are about to start assisted conception (such as IVF and IUI), are in the middle of treatment, where the assisted conception has not worked or after miscarriages.
When you come for your appointment a full consultation is taken with you about your health and lifestyle. After this an individual conception treatment program will be designed according to your requirements, including which treatments would be best for you and how often you would need to have a treatment. You will also be offered some additional advice to ensure that you increase your chances of getting pregnant and staying pregnant.
Rima is a registered Foresight Preconception practitioner, and can advise you about this organisation may assist you along side your treatments.
Reflexology may help both men and women with fertility issues.
Reflexology is deeply relaxing and assists the body and mind to reach a balance, and this turn is thought to affect the balancing of the endocrine system (hormones).
Reflexology for preconception is excellent for everyone who is considering getting pregnant, whether you have any problems or not. It’s a great way to ensure that your body is at its best and ready for the forthcoming months.
Many clients who suffer from PCOS, endometriosis, low sperm count, low sperm motility among many other issues, have used Reflexology as a support.
Reflexology can be received before, during or after assisted conception (IVF, IUI etc).
Many couples have found it very helpful to receive Reflexology treatments when dealing the stress and emotional upheavals linked with assisted conception methods, after miscarriages or just due to the disappointments from not getting pregnant.
Aromatherapy can be used by both men and women with fertility issues to relax, and therefore it is believed it will aid the conception process.
A very specific blend of base oils and essential oils will be used at each treatment, this blend is done at the time of the treatment for each person and may vary from appointment to appointment.
The lymphatic system plays a key role in the circulation of hormones around the body. If this system is not functioning at it’s best the circulation of hormones will be effected, including the reproductive hormones.
All hormones work on a feedback system, and the feedback is received when a particular hormone reaches a certain organ or gland. This then affects when and how much of the second hormone is secreted in the body. If the first hormone isn’t circulated as well around the body in the lymphatic system it will be slower to reach it’s target organ or gland. This in turn will affect when the second hormone is secreted and the quantity that is secreted. Thus causing an imbalance in the hormone secretion and circulation.
The male and female fertility cycles depend on this hormonal feedback system to work efficiently and effectively. Any disturbance to this feedback cycle can lead to problems arising.
To ensure that the hormones are being circulated efficiently it is important to make sure that the lymphatic system is working at it’s prime. One of the best ways of doing this is by having Manual Lymph Drainage massages.
This treatment is believed to aid at every stage of conception, helping to prepare the body, supporting during assisted conception (such as IVF and IUI), and following a miscarriage.
