Femoral Artery Massage (FAM)
SIMPLE TECHNIQUE TO INCREASE BLOOD FLOW TO YOUR WOMB AND OVARIES
One simple exercise you can do at home, with your partner, is called femoral artery massage. It increases blood flow through the reproductive organs which helps stimulate ovulation.It can be done twice daily during the follicular part of your cycle (from the end of your period until ovulation). Don’t perform this exercise if you have your period or think you may be pregnant.
Here’s how to do it:
- Find the crease between your upper thigh and abdomen (along your panty line).
- Using your fingertips, slowly work your way along and locate the femoral artery which you will feel pulsing.
- Press down deeply into the artery until you feel the pulse stop. Hold for 45-60 seconds allowing the blood flow to gather in the uterus and ovaries.
- Release the pressure and natural blood flow will resume. You’ll feel a warm rush as the blood returns down your leg. Repeat on the opposite side.
And then gently massage your belly in clockwise rotations nourishing the uterus and ovaries.
