According to WHO, the definition of infertility is, “a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy
after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse”.
Usually 85-90% of healthy couple can get pregnant within one year, and the rest, 10-15%, of the couples are diagnosed with infertility.
But, even if it’s been more than one year since a couple has started trying to become pregnant, it is very rare that “fertility” itself is impossible.
“Infertility” is not equal to “Sterility”
“Infertility” is a stage where you need medical help to conceive.

WHY ORIENTAL MEDICINE TREATMENT?
"調理經" AND "滋養精" ARE KEY SOLUTION TO TREAT INFERTILITY
IN ORIENTAL MEDICINE
調理經 is, “peace stage of menstrual cycle”, which regulates the period; this includes the length of the cycle, amount of bleeding, promoting the functionality of uterus and ovary to create comfortable environment to conceive, and give birth
滋養精 means “to improve the essence”, which includes promoting male reproductive ability by having healthier sperm
WITH THE RESULTS OF CONVENTIONAL (WESTERN) MEDICINE TESTS,

CONCEPTION CAN BE ACHIEVED.

WHAT ARE ORIENTAL MEDICINE TREATMENTS?
HERBAL MEDICINE (DECOCTION)
Herbal decoction is the most authentic and common form in Oriental Medicine. Unlike already made herbal product that can be purchased at the store, this is the only way to personalize herbal medicine for individual. Because, the containers and methods used in preparing the decoction will have a direct effect on the quality of herbal medicine, attention to every step in the preparation of herbal decoction is essential. At IC Oriental Clinic, we only use medical grade herbs to prepare herbal decoction.
ACUPUNCTURE
IC Oriental Clinic follows federal law (Sec. 880.5580) and only uses FDA approve acupuncture needles that are ETO (Ethylene Oxide Gas) sterilized , singles-use and made with surgical stainless steel.
MOXIBUSTION
Mionibustion is an Oreintal Medcine therapy which consists of burning dried herb on acupuncture points on the body. Moxa warms the regions and meridian points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and energy. At IC Oriental Clinic, we use both electric moxibustion and traditional moxibustion depends on each cases.
