Try to get at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night. If you struggle with sleep, talk to your doctor.

Taking a few moments every day to either practice Chi gong, meditation, yoga or deep breathing to allow your Kidney Qi to rebuild and help nourish the Kidney Yin to help improve fertility outcomes.
#3 ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture can be used to build Kidney Yin, Kidney Yang, and Kidney Qi and create balance in other organs and meridians. Acupuncture can be very effective in building Kidney Qi and enhancing your fertility.
