infertility

A few weeks ago, I questioned the value of accupuncture in dealing with infertility.  I don’t doubt that it’s useful, just that I’ve never experienced it. A very good friend of mine sent me a message last night with a link in it to a massage chain.  Now, I’m definitely up for getting a good rub down, but can this actually help with infertility, too? Of course it can - it helps to relieve stress!

Other than relieving stress, though, wouldn’t it be fantastic if massages actually WERE therapeutic?  Come to find out, several thousand folks believe it is!  Seems that part of the ancient Chinese medicine therapy for infertility has to do with deep tissue massages in the uterine area at certain times of the month.  There is also a clinic that claims they can open blocked fallopian tubes with various techniques - and one of the techniques they list as necessary is deep tissue massage!!  (This massage thing is looking better and better!) 

So…. maybe we should all be requesting gift certificates from the local massage therapists offices as gifts.  It definitely can’t hurt!  Yes! I think that’s a great idea, especially for all those folks who always say, “I don’t have a clue what I’m going to get you!” and you don’t want to reveal the struggles you are going through with infertility.  A simple request for a good, old fashioned gift certificate to a spa wouldn’t arouse any suspicion at all, and they would be contributing to your quest to have a child!
