In traditional Chinese Medicine, childbirth is a very important stage in a woman's life, and it is thought that a woman's vital energy can be improved after having a baby. Acupuncture can be a great help in re-balancing your health after the birth.
Postnatal conditions successfully treated with Acupuncture include: haemorrhoids, perineal pain, stasis of urine/inability to micturate, backache, breast engorgement, mastitis, anaemia, post natal depression, back pain, shoulder pain, constipation, pain and flatulence following caesarean section, prolapse, insufficient lactation, tiredness.
Acupuncture is usually combined with Chinese herbal therapies, which are very effective at replenishing the bodies' energy after birth. Alternatively, Reflexology with essential oils, and/or Aromatherapy massage may be used to help re-balance a woman's health after the birth.
