| There are no easy answers when it comes to the
treatment of infertility, but TCM is rapidly gaining
acceptance in our Western culture as an allied form
of treatment. TCM has been used to treat both female
infertility and male sub-fertility conditions in the
Orient for the past three to four thousand years. Currently,
there are several hundred herbal substances
identified and used extensively in infertility treatments
along with acupuncture, moxibustion, Qi Gong, dietary
and other therapies. In the context of the speaker
sequence identified above, this esteemed panel will
address: Challenges, Opportunities, & Paradigms for the
Treatment of Infertility; Reproductive Endocrinology &
Infertility (RE&I) Clinicians and Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) Practitioners: Synergy for Creating Families;
Classical Chinese Literature and Scientific Methodology:
AAAOM Expo 2008 Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine: Your Passport to Better Health
Theoretical and Practical Approaches to Progressive
Fertility Research; Why We Should Change the Course
of Acupuncture Research. This workshop will illustrate
the therapeutic value of TCM as a viable alternative
and complementary therapeutic system to conventional
infertility treatments and ART. |
