As pioneers in fertility acupuncture and holistic nutrition, Sama Wellness Clinic was among the first in Bengaluru to collaborate with gynecologists and fertility specialists to support those hoping to conceive. Over the past 15 years, we’ve assisted over 4,000 women and couples on their fertility journeys.
Our compassionate practitioners offer services like electro acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), moxibustion, fertility yoga, and nutritional guidance. We create personalized treatment plans by reviewing your medical history, recommending tests, and designing a holistic regimen that includes a fertility diet, yoga, and tailored acupuncture protocols.
At Sama Wellness, we provide a supportive space for emotional care, ensuring you and your partner receive the highest quality healthcare in a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Studies show that acupuncture positively impacts fertility by:
At Sama, we offer comprehensive pre-conception care to enhance natural fertility and support reproductive health. Our services include acupuncture, yoga, dietary guidance, lifestyle adjustments, vitamin supplementation, and self-fertility treatments.
Starting 2-3 months before trying to conceive, our approach focuses on hormonal balance and healthy pregnancies. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) benefit fertility by:
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by small ovarian cysts, irregular cycles, abnormal hair growth, acne, and metabolic issues leading to weight gain. These cysts can cause hormonal imbalances, including increased male hormones, disrupting ovulation and potentially leading to infertility.
Women with PCOS also face higher risks of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
At SAMA, our unique five-therapeutic strategy aims to optimize hormonal balance by stimulating the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Ovarian axis to promote ovulation and enhance egg quality. Many women with PCOS have successfully conceived naturally, even after IVF failures.
Endometriosis is a painful, chronic condition affecting 1 in 10 women, with 30-40% facing fertility challenges. It occurs when uterine lining grows outside the uterus, impacting nearby organs. Adenomyosis involves uterine lining tissue invading the uterine wall, causing inflammation and enlargement.
Symptoms can include:
At our clinic, we manage endometriosis and adenomyosis through a holistic five-therapeutic strategy, including acupuncture, yoga, dietary adjustments, nutritional supplements, and self-treatments, to alleviate pain and inflammation while preventing complications.
Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) means having fewer eggs in the ovaries for one’s age, leading to reduced reproductive potential. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels indicate ovarian reserve; as AMH declines, so does egg count. Factors like premature ovarian failure, autoimmune conditions, and treatments like chemotherapy can cause early declines.
Women with DOR often show higher Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels and lower AMH and Antral Follicle Count (AFC). At SAMA, our holistic five-pillar strategy aims to enhance reproductive potential by improving egg quality and increasing AFCs, with acupuncture promoting oocyte maturation and blood flow.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age, characterized by small ovarian cysts, irregular cycles, and hormonal imbalances that can disrupt ovulation and lead to infertility. Our five-therapeutic strategy targets hormonal balance, stimulates ovulation, and improves egg quality, helping many women with PCOS conceive naturally, even after unsuccessful IVF attempts.
An optimal uterine lining (endometrium) is crucial for embryo implantation. A thin lining, defined as less than 7 mm, can lead to early miscarriages or failed implantations, often due to low estrogen levels. Research shows that acupuncture can improve uterine lining by increasing blood flow, significantly reducing the Pulsatility Index (PI) of the uterine artery after 6-8 sessions, thereby supporting pregnancy.
At SAMA Clinic, we enhance endometrial thickness and blood flow through a comprehensive regimen that includes acupuncture, moxibustion, yoga, nutritional supplements, and self-treatments.
Healthy egg quality is essential for successful conception. Poor egg quality, which can decline with age, affects fertilization and embryo development. Our approach focuses on improving egg quality with acupuncture, yoga, tailored dietary guidance, nutritional supplements, and simple fertility treatments, enhancing your chances of conception naturally or with assisted reproductive techniques.
Healthy eggs are essential for a successful pregnancy and baby. Focusing on egg quality is crucial for improving conception chances. Poor egg quality can hinder fertilization and embryo development, and it declines with age. The good news is that consistent efforts can enhance egg quality in 60-90 days.
If you’re facing difficulties conceiving or experiencing miscarriages, consult SAMA Wellness Clinic. Our comprehensive approach includes acupuncture, yoga, dietary guidance, nutritional supplements, and fertility treatments to boost your chances of natural conception or assist reproductive techniques.
About 30% of infertile couples experience unexplained infertility, meaning no obvious cause can be identified. However, underlying factors may include:
Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, can also hinder conception and lead to recurrent pregnancy loss due to an overactive immune response.
At SAMA, we take a holistic approach to identify and address these underlying issues. We support natural conception with a comprehensive, scientific strategy to boost your immune system and enhance your journey to pregnancy.
Fertility begins to gradually decline around age 35, with a more significant decrease occurring around age 37. Becoming pregnant later in life is associated with increased risks, including miscarriage, gestational diabetes, chromosomal abnormalities, preterm birth, and stillbirth.
Today, many women are choosing to delay motherhood, often due to career or personal reasons, and may have been on oral contraceptives for years. Unfortunately, statistics indicate a significant decrease in pregnancy rates after the age of 40.
At SAMA, our five-pillar natural fertility strategy aims to facilitate faster pregnancy rates in women of advanced age experiencing issues with egg quality and quantity. We also collaborate with IVF specialists to incorporate acupuncture during IVF treatments to promote healthy embryo development and enhance endometrial receptivity for successful implantation.
Infertility is a shared issue, with 40% attributed to female factors, 40% to male factors, and 20% remaining unexplained. A critical aspect of reproduction is fertilization, which requires at least one sperm to reach and fertilize an egg. If the male partner faces challenges such as hormonal imbalances, blockages in reproductive organs, or low sperm count, this may indicate male infertility.
Poor lifestyle choices, including lack of sleep, smoking, substance use, stress, and insufficient physical activity, can contribute to male fertility issues, such as low sperm count, motility, and morphology, as well as increased DNA fragmentation.
With SAMA’s holistic approach, couples can see noticeable improvements in semen quality in as little as six weeks. Many couples have successfully conceived naturally after addressing male factor infertility.

Stress, anxiety, and depression are common challenges for couples facing fertility issues. Treatment failures and menstrual cycles can lead to disbelief and anguish for women, while men may feel guilt and frustration.
Psychoneuroimmunology suggests that stress disrupts the immune and nervous systems, causing chronic health problems.
At SAMA, we provide mind-body techniques to manage stress and anxiety. Our yoga and mindfulness classes, along with visualization, relaxation techniques, and acupuncture, help boost endorphin levels to alleviate stress.
Both underweight (BMI under 18.5) and overweight (BMI over 25) can negatively impact a woman’s fertility by causing hormonal imbalances that affect ovulation and increase pregnancy risks. While not direct causes of infertility, these conditions can exacerbate existing issues and affect libido.
Research shows that overweight women may respond less effectively to fertility medications, retrieve fewer eggs, and face lower IVF success rates. Conversely, weight loss can improve pregnancy chances for those with excess weight.
Maintaining an optimal weight during the preconception period is essential for natural fertility. At SAMA, we focus on achieving optimal weight through structured diet plans and dynamic yoga practices. Our unique 21-day habit-forming wellness program offers a simple weight loss regimen you can follow at home.
In an IUI cycle, acupuncture can enhance conception rates by increasing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, improving the effectiveness of fertility medications, and supporting the development of follicles and the uterine lining. Additionally, acupuncture helps relieve uterine spasms during the potential implantation period and can alleviate side effects from fertility drugs, increasing success rates by 5%.
We typically work with patients from the beginning of the IUI cycle through the follicular phase and may extend our support into the luteal phase. Our IUI success plan includes acupuncture, yoga, dietary guidance, and simple home-based self-fertility treatments.
It is recommended to begin acupuncture treatments as soon as possible when starting IVF, ideally 2-3 months in advance, to prepare your body for the process. We suggest sessions twice or three times a week, depending on where you are in the retrieval schedule.
These treatments aim to improve ovarian response, enhance blood flow, manage stress, and balance hormones. During the stimulation phase of IVF, acupuncture can increase success rates by optimizing the effectiveness of the prescribed medications. More frequent acupuncture sessions during this phase help improve perifollicular blood flow and promote synchronous follicle growth, enhancing egg quality and resulting in stronger embryos.
During the embryo transfer cycle, acupuncture improves uterine blood flow and endometrial receptivity, which aids in implantation and helps prevent miscarriages. Patients with thin endometrial lining or previous implantation failures can particularly benefit from regular acupuncture sessions.
Our holistic Fertility Acupuncture protocol includes a scientific yoga module, dietary and nutritional supplements, and simple self-fertility treatments to improve pelvic circulation. Research has shown that acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer can increase implantation rates by 50%.
