FERTILITY MANAGEMENT
Dr.Shine’s Naturopathic management of fertility focuses on optimizing the health of the reproductive system and addressing underlying imbalances that may be affecting fertility. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years to promote fertility and treat infertility.
