You have been happy together for a couple of years and you both feel it is time to add a child to your family. Feng Shui an ancient Chinese art/science for balancing energies to bring upon well being for everything in nature. How much more natural can you get than having a baby? Here are some simple tips from Feng Shui that can help you bring balance to your life and help with conception.

Descendant’s luck: this is an important part that the man plays in helping with conception. To increase his descendents luck he should sleep facing North West which opens his receptiveness to positive energy that can create luck and enhance fertility. If sleeping facing Northwest does not work try placing a fan in that corner and have it on throughout the day; this will blow positive chi into the room and the man will be able to absorb this while he sleeps. Caution: do not have sleep facing North West if that is facing the door.

Atlanta,

GA, July 04, 2009 –(PR.com)– Recent research reporting on three women who were previously diagnosed as infertile but conceived following the introduction of chiropractic care reveals that chiropractic may play an important role in caring for families with infertility challenges.

The research, reported in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health – Chiropractic, includes a review of the literature supporting the role of chiropractic in women experiencing infertility.

“Research is revealing that there is a relationship between abnormalities in the spine, the nervous system and the reproductive system” stated Dr. Joel Alcantara, lead author of the paper. “There are over a dozen case studies previously published that show successful conceptions and the delivery of healthy children following the introduction of chiropractic care and the addition of these three add further weight to the evidence.”

When we think of women’s health, our thoughts are automatically directed towards images of nurses and physicians, especially ob/gyns. However, there are also psychological approaches to this topic.

Many health concerns are best treated when physicians and mental health providers act together as a team.

I attended a workshop in Denver recently that was given by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). It was taught by Jackie Irland, M.D., fellow, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and assistant professor of the same discipline at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Her co-instructor was Molly Delaney, doctor of psychology, ASCH-approved consultant, who is in private practice in Maine.

Some therapy goals for infertility problems can be to increase coping skills for physical, emotional and hormonal fluctuations, to stabilize the autonomic nervous system, to strengthen the ego, and to prepare for medical procedures.

Most of us have probably heard stories in which a couple tried hard to conceive a child, had fertility studies done, in vitro fertilization and so on. All this pain and expense. Once the couple relaxed and allowed things to happen naturally, they had a child.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a therapy of traditional Chinese medicine that originated in China over 5,000 years ago. It is based on the belief that people have a vital energy, called “Qi,” that circulates through twelve invisible energy channels, known as “meridians,” on the body. These energy channels are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. Each meridian is associated with a different organ system. An imbalance in the flow of Qi throughout a meridian is how disease begins. An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up, causing stages of excess and deficiency in the body.

What is a treatment like?

Acupuncturists insert needles into specified points along meridian lines to unblock the obstructions at the dams and reestablish the regular flow of Qi through the body. There are over 1,000 acupuncture points on the body. Along with the usual method of puncturing the skin with the fine needles, the practitioners of acupuncture also use heat, pressure, suction or impulses of electromagnetic energy to stimulate the points. Prior to starting a session, a patient’s health is assessed by taking their pulses and looking at their tongue, both providing information on the internal function of the body. A session usually lasts around 30 minutes.

What can it treat?

Acupuncture treatments can help the body’s internal organs correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption and energy production activities, and in the circulation of their energy through the meridians. Some of the conditions treated at the Center for Natural Healing
with acupuncture include migraines, tension headaches, sinusitis, common cold, arthritis, menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia, low back pain and infertility. Each protocol is individually designed based on
the patient’s needs. All ages and all conditions can benefit from acupuncture.
