Improving Fertility With Sound Therapy
Sound therapy involves the use of vibrational frequencies to stimulate specific areas of the body which can help to improve overall health and well-being. While sound therapy has traditionally been used to treat a broad spectrum of conditions, its efficacy with respect to fertility has allowed for a broader toolbox when addressing the challenges of conception.
In this short blog post, we will explore the science behind sound therapy and how it can help improve fertility in women.
GOOD FOR THE OVARIES
According to the research, the use of sound therapy has been shown to improve the function of the reproductive system in women. One study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that sound therapy using tuning forks helped to improve ovarian function and increase the likelihood of pregnancy in women with fertility issues.
STRESS AND HORMONES
Another study conducted by the University of Maryland Medical Center found that sound therapy using tuning forks helped to reduce stress and improve hormonal balance in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Stress and hormonal imbalances are known to have a negative impact on fertility, so reducing these factors can help improve a woman's chances of conceiving.
REDUCED INFLAMMATION
One study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that sound therapy helped to reduce inflammation in the reproductive organs and improve blood flow to these areas. Improved blood flow and reduced inflammation can help to improve the health and function of the reproductive system, which can in turn increase the chances of conception.
While there is still more research needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind how sound therapy using tuning forks improves fertility, these studies show promising results. Our own ELEMENTAL CONCEPTION program includes twenty-four weekly sound therapy sessions in conjunction with the acupuncture sessions to induce deep relaxation and enhance the healing benefits of the needles.
