Making Acu-babies: Treatment of Infertility through Application of Classical Principles
Infertility is an increasing problem worldwide. Integration of classical Chinese medical practices with current biomedical procedures can improve outcomes in many of these cases. Oftentimes the application of these Chinese medical classical principles can even prevent the necessity for more invasive and expensive procedures.
