Blood Support for Fertility, Pregnancy, and Postpartum Using Acupuncture from Ancient Medical Texts' Theory.

This article offers advanced acupuncture techniques clinically used to build, preserve, and protect the Blood-derived from a synthesis of basic Energetic concepts mentioned throughout the ancient medical texts-that can be applied in clinics and research in reproductive medicine today. Acupuncture points with reasons for using them are reviewed with examples in application and treatment to support the infertile, pregnant, and postpartum patient. The acupuncture treatment methods offered in this article have been used throughout the world by medical acupuncturists trained by Drs. Viet Dzung and Van Nghi with positive clinical results. Further clinical observation and research is warranted to evaluate the full potential for acupuncture to build and preserve the Blood, an essential component for creating life in preparing for, preserving, and recovering from pregnancy.
