Postpartum Acupunture
Mother Warming
Mother warming is a moxibustion treatment given to help support health and recovery after birth. It helps to increase energy and supports breast milk production by warming areas such as the abdomen and certain acupuncture points. In addition to overall recovery, other physical or emotional issues can be addressed at this time to ensure long term health after childbirth.
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
Following pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes hormonal fluctuations which can give rise to emotional and physical difficulties. Not to mention, life has shifted from pregnancy to having a newborn baby which is another world. Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can help balance hormonal change and ease anxiety and depression to give you the physical and emotional support during this transition.
LACTATION SUPPORT
Many women face difficulties in breast feeding after their baby is born. It can be an incredibly emotional challenge. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help with both breast milk supply and with the flow of breast milk.
Mastitis
Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue which is often accompanied by infection. It is typically treated with antibiotics, which may be necessary, but Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can help to prevent or speed up the healing process of this condition and provide pain relief.
