A Handbook

Herausgeber: Bedford, Susan; Bold, Justine

Beschreibung

A comprehensive integrative handbook on infertility, fertility treatment and Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART) for health professionals and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practitioners, and for those seriously considering ART themselves. Integrated approaches to infertility offer both a greater awareness and understanding of the combination of factors that can influence the chances of success when undergoing different types of ART. The book includes contributions from leading experts and covers everything from identifying and treating conditions that may reduce fertility, including endometriosis and immunological abnormalities, to how nutrition, acupuncture, reflexology and yoga can support couples going through assisted reproduction. There is also a chapter that looks specifically at support for the over 40's.
