I’ve therefore tried my best to include as much detailed information as possible in my guide, but in a concise and easy-to-understand way. My Fertility Guide explains the menstrual cycle, when ovulation occurs, how to know when you are your most fertile and the best time to try and conceive. It also outlines the various causes of male and female infertility and how to avoid them, from chemicals in the environment, in food, cosmetics and household products to pollution, plastics, heavy metals, pharmaceutical drugs and electromagnetic waves (EMWs). In-depth explanations are given on how to optimise your lifestyle from exercising, work, sleep to clothing, footwear and even baths versus showers all based on the latest cutting-edge research together with the tried and tested theories of Chinese medicine. In addition, Chinese medical imbalances are explained and how you can find yours and fix it to improve your fertility. Pre and post-ovulation fertility diet plans (seeding) are given to enhance hormone levels to maximise natural conception. A vast range of supplement advice sourced from fact-based research is given that can improve both male and female fertility, regulate your hormone levels and increase egg and sperm quality to enhance your fertility potential. Based on the latest scientific research, My Fertility Guide explains how to deal with infertility problems such as irregular menstrual cycles, unexplained infertility, irregular FSH levels, poor egg quality (low AMH levels), endometriosis, PCOS and poor sperm motility and morphology. Advice on aiding natural conception is given based upon research evidence of the beneficial effects of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicines. Further advice is given on the use of western medical treatments to enhance natural conception, such as ovulation drugs and intra-uterine insemination (IUI). Dr (TCM) Attilio D’Alberto has been treating couples with infertility since 2004, from those with simple to complex fertility issues and has a vast array of knowledge that he delivers in My Fertility Guide.

Download or read book Acupuncture Therapy for Neurological Diseases written by Ying Xia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture therapy has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for more than two thousand years. Modern clinical research has confirmed the impressive therapeutic effect of acupuncture on numerous human ailments, such as controlling pain, nausea, and vomiting. However, the biological mechanisms of acupuncture are still under debate. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the mechanism of acupuncture therapy is explained by a meridian model. According to this model, acupuncture is believed to treat the diseased organs by modulating two conditions known as Yin and Yang, which represent all the opposite principles that people find in the universe, both inside and outside the human body. Yin and Yang complement each other, and are subjected to changes between each other. The balance of Yin and Yang is thought to be maintained by Qi, an energy substance flowing constantly through the meridian, a network connecting all the organs of the body. The illness, according to this theory, is the temporary dominance of one principle over the other, owing to the blockade of the Qi from flowing through the meridian under certain circumstance. The axiom of “No stagnation, No pain” in TCM summarizes this concept. Thus, the goal of acupuncture treatment is to restore the balance of Yin and Yang conditions in the diseased organ(s). This theory has been considered to be useful to guide this ancient therapy, such as carrying out diagnosis, deciding on the principle, and selecting the acupoints.
