FERTILITY: Acupuncture works by mediating the release of chemicals that send messages from the brain, via various neurotransmitters, that affect reproductive hormones and organs. By stimulating blood flow to the uterus, it can help with embryo implantation. Also, it can boost the production of chemicals that inhibit stress hormone levels, which is essential during this time.
PRENATAL: During pregnancy, common symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, constipation, pain, and heartburn can be hard to manage. Acupuncture treatments to support the pregnancy process are becoming more common place, and have proven to be extremely beneficial and effective. Closer to the baby's due date, acupuncture is also reported to shorten the duration of labour, and lessen overall pain during contractions.
*Sessions for Cervical Preparation for Birth begin at 34/35 weeks until delivery.
*Sessions to turn a Breech Baby begin after week 35.
Acupuncture in key areas and the warming properties of Moxa have been very successful in turning breech babies.
POSTNATAL: After the delivery, postpartum care is also an important focus. Postpartum acupuncture can help with the recovery process after birth, support milk production and hormonal balance – all essential to a smoother recovery. The body has undergone many physical and hormonal changes during this time and needs nourishment the most.
