Chinese Medicine for Infertility
LIVE SEMINARS By Miki Shima, O.M.D., L.Ac.
LIVE WEBINARS
In the past when society was largely agrarian, in order for families to survive, they needed
W E B I N A R W E E K D AY S to have many children for work. The famous Chinese poet, Li Po, was the 16th son and
his father didnt even bother to give him a name. He would say, Hey, 16th son, go get the

8th son! So, for thousands of years, it was crucial for the family to have many children for
ONLINE VIDEOS economic survival. I myself come from a large family in Tokyo with 24 uncles and aunts
and 54 first cousins. My grandparents were married by the age of 17, and they had no
R E G I S T R AT I O N
birth control. My father was the 13th child and the only boy in the Shima family.

DRUG-HERB SET
The Industrial Revolution from the 18th and 19th century started slowly, but it steadily
changed the agrarian society to an industrial society over the next 250 years. Nowadays,
BOOKS & NOTES women comprise 46.8% of the work force in the United States. More and more, the trend
FA Q
is that people are getting married later in life, and then start thinking about having a family
after age 35! Both Chinese and Western medicine claim that 28 is THE prime age for a
DOWNLOADS woman to get pregnant, because a womans fertility starts to go down-hill after that age.
ABOUT US In California alone, I have practiced Chinese medicine for infertility for over thirty years,
and the age range of my infertility patients are between 35 and 46.

At the beginning of the 1980s, I remember I used to pay a great deal of attention to
balancing Blood, and I must say that I had some good results. Then as I kept treating
infertility among women over the age of 35, I started placing a lot more emphasis on
Kidney Yin, Kidney Yang and Kidney Jing, because I came to realize that Blood was
always either deficient or stagnant among older women, and in addition, their Kidneys
were extremely depleted. I therefore began to fortify their Kidneys with herbs first.
I then also started practicing the wisdom of the Qing Dynastys genius physician,
Ye Tian-shisprescribing a great deal of animal materia medica such as Lu Jiao Jiao,
Bie Jia, and Gui Ban, just to name a few. These herbs I have found are especially
effective for burned-out modern career women.

Treatment of Infertility
with Oriental Medicine
by Miki Shima
Location & Time:
San Francisco, CA
2/27/11 9 am to 6 pm PT
In terms of acupuncture, I started intensively studying the Eight Extraordinary Vessels
and Channel Divergences from Mr. Tadashi Irie, who became my life-time mentor until
he passed away in late 1980s. Besides conventional TCM points for Blood and Kidneys,
I have been using the Eight Extraordinary Vessels and Channel Divergences to exert
direct influence on the reproductive organs. These methods of treatment are the
culmination of my years of experience as a practitioner, and something that I hope to be
able to impart to all of you through my courses.
