Pregnancy Support
Pregnancy is a special and joyful time in a woman's life. However the structural and hormonal changes that occur in pregnancy are accompanied by numerous physical and mental challenges.
In recent years we have seen an increase in the number of women who are turning to acupuncture for the relief and reduction of some of pregnancy related conditions. Chinese medicine treatment may be able to help pregnant women with pregnancy related musculoskeletal pains, nausea and vomiting. In Traditional Chinese Medicine nausea and vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy are seen as disharmony among the organs, in particular the stomach, spleen and liver. The aim of acupuncture is to restore balance and correct the direction of energy flow. The practitioner will focus on regulating and balancing energy, harmonising the stomach and liver, and strengthening the digestive system.
Additionally, the calming and relaxing effects of acupuncture can help to reduce the stress that is commonly associated with pregnancy.
We recommend you make an enquiry to or have an initial consultation with the practitioner about how acupuncture and Chinese medicine may help you with your specific conditions.
