Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an alternative medicine methodology originating in ancient China 2000 years ago that treats patients by manipulating thin, solid needles that have been inserted into acupuncture points in the skin. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating these points can correct imbalances in the flow of qi through channels known as meridians.
The use of acupuncture for certain conditions has been endorsed by the United States National Institutes of Health, the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, the World Health Organization, and most of the Australian private insurance companies, such as Medibank Private, HBF, AHM, Bupa, NIB, etc.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine have over 2000 years history, it protect the eastern Asian peoples( Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, ) for centuries, and proved to be effective, safe with side effect.
Although these practices are considered alternative medicine in the Western world, they are a common part of medical care throughout East Asia, accounting for estimated 40% of all health care delivered in China.
TCM's view of the body places little emphasis on anatomical structures, but is mainly concerned with the identification of functional entities (which regulate digestion, breathing, aging etc.). While health is perceived as harmonious interaction of these entities and the outside world, disease is interpreted as a disharmony in interaction. TCM diagnosis consists in tracing symptoms to an underlying disharmony pattern, mainly by palpating the pulse and inspecting the tongue.
There are roughly 13,000 herbal medicine used in China and over 100,000 medicinal recipes recorded in the ancient literature. Plant elements and extracts are by far the most common elements used.

Male Treatment
Some people think the infertility mainly involves the female, in fact, 50% of infertility are relative to male. Besides getting the woman ready for pregnancy, there is also acupuncture treatment for the male to improve total sperm count, motility and morphology.
It also benefits those with low morphology and doing ICSI (intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection) which surgically deliver the chromosomes directly into the eggs seemly independent of total sperm count, motility and morphology. But a successful pregnancy requires more than a successful fertilization.
Survivability is highly depended on the quality of the sperm.
A better sperm will generally have a better morphology (shape) which reflects how well the chromosomes are packed in the head of a sperm. In general, a better shaped sperm will have better physiological functions and expressions than a poorly formed or shaped sperm.
