Natural fertility solutions are becoming increasingly sought after by those who want a safe approach to improving reproductive health. At Scott Martin Acupuncture in Mackay, our fertility treatments are based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principles, offering personalised care focused on regulating cycles, balancing hormones, and enhancing natural conception.
Each plan is built on a detailed assessment of your health history, symptoms, and goals, with acupuncture and herbal medicine that focuses on physical and emotional factors contributing to fertility challenges. Whether trying to conceive naturally or preparing for assisted reproductive techniques, we strive to offer tailored support that aligns with their unique circumstances.
Treatments are non-invasive and evolve with your reproductive journey. Acupuncture can improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, support ovulation, and reduce stress, while Chinese herbal medicine may nourish and regulate key systems. Care plans are available for all stages, from early fertility planning to IVF integration and recovery after miscarriage.

Care That Works With Your Body
Fertility challenges can be complex, involving physical, hormonal, and emotional components. TCM aims to be a framework that looks beyond test results to understand the body’s patterns. Natural fertility treatments focus on improving uterine lining quality, supporting egg and sperm health, stabilising menstrual cycles, and reducing inflammation or stress that may impact conception.
These therapies are particularly beneficial for those with conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, irregular cycles, unexplained infertility, or hormonal imbalances. Acupuncture sessions are scheduled to align with your cycle phases, while herbal formulas are adjusted to consider needs such as improving luteal phase function, regulating ovulation, or managing PMS.
Alongside the physical benefits, many patients experience improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and enhanced energy, positively influencing fertility. Some patients have also reported TCM works well with fertility medications and IVF, optimising success rates and minimising side effects. By addressing the whole person, these natural solutions aim to provide more than symptom management; they offer a comprehensive path toward reproductive wellness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can acupuncture help with fertility issues?
Yes, acupuncture can support fertility by improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, regulating the menstrual cycle, balancing hormones, and reducing stress, all of which can influence conception. Research has shown that acupuncture may increase pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF or trying to conceive naturally.
It often improves egg quality, supports uterine lining development, and reduces conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis. Acupuncture can also benefit men by improving sperm quality and motility. Treatments are most effective when tailored to the individual and consistently delivered over several weeks or cycles.
What herbs are used in Chinese medicine for fertility?
Chinese herbal medicine uses a variety of plant-based ingredients that can support reproductive health. Common herbs include Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) for blood nourishment, Bai Shao (White Peony) for hormonal balance, and Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia) to tonify the kidneys, a key concept in TCM fertility care.
Herbal formulas are always personalised and adjusted based on your cycle, symptoms, and diagnostic patterns. These prescriptions are designed to support ovulation, regulate menstruation, and improve the body’s readiness for conception, either naturally or alongside assisted reproductive treatments.
How long can fertility treatment take to show improvement?
The duration can vary based on individual circumstances, including age, underlying health issues, and cycle regularity. TCM practitioners generally recommend committing to at least 3–6 months of consistent treatment to allow the body to regulate hormones, improve egg quality, and respond to the therapies.
If you're undergoing IVF or timed cycles, acupuncture may be timed around specific treatment phases. Patience is key; fertility is a complex process, and natural therapies often require time to take full effect. Ongoing assessment can confirm if treatments are responsive and align with each stage of your journey.
