🌿 Why Balanced Cycles Matter: A Holistic Approach to Fertility in Asheville
If you're trying to conceive, you’ve likely been told to “track your ovulation” or “just relax.” But what if fertility is less about trying harder—and more about bringing your whole system back into balance?
As a fertility acupuncturist and herbalist in Asheville, I see every day how powerful it is when people begin to understand their cycles, connect with their bodies, and receive care that honors both modern science and ancient wisdom. Whether you’re just beginning your fertility journey, managing irregular cycles, or preparing for IVF, the health of your menstrual cycle is a window into your reproductive vitality—and a place we can begin healing from the inside out.
🌀 What Is a Balanced Cycle, Really?
From a Western perspective, a healthy menstrual cycle typically:
Lasts between 26–35 days
Has 4 distinct phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal
Includes clear ovulation around mid-cycle (often between days 12–16)
Shows signs like cervical mucus, basal body temperature shifts, and predictable mood patterns
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we view the cycle in four energetic phases:
Blood phase (menstruation): Releasing and renewal
Yin phase (pre-ovulation): Nourishing the follicles and uterine lining
Qi phase (ovulation): Moving energy to release the egg
Yang phase (luteal): Warming, holding, and preparing for possible implantation
When any one phase is disrupted—whether due to stress, overwork, trauma, digestive issues, or hormonal imbalances—it can affect your ability to conceive. But here's the good news: your cycle is something we can work with, gently and effectively.
