Fertility and conception problems in TCM are the results of the imbalances within the network of hormones, organs and energy systems of the female body. This very network responds to chemicals, stress, poor diet, excessive emotions and lack of exercise – each can put the body off balance.

Due to these imbalances, the body cannot function as it should. A TCM practitioner addresses all the aspects of the woman's health after learning her comprehensive case history, and use the information for assessing the imbalanced organs. Next, they utilize the combined treatment of Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, diets, exercises and lifestyle change advice for restoring equilibrium to the body.

As soon as this is established and treated, the symptoms' outward manifestations usually disappear. Separation of mind, emotions, body and spirit is not theorized in Eastern Medicine. TCM therapy administers them all.
