Just as infertility deeply affects us now, in a traditional Chinese, Confucian society, the inability to conceive was magnificently disastrous with the potential to lead to an impoverished or even end to immortality. As a result, Chinese medicine was led to place particular emphasis on the fertility health of both women and men.
Conditions associated with female infertility, known as Bu Yun Zheng (“no pregnancy condition”), first appeared in Chinese medical literature some 2000 years ago. To say that there is a well established framework within traditional Chinese medicine around fertility and reproductive wellness is an understatement!
