Acupuncture can help women after they give birth
In
China, special care is taken of women after they give birth to avoid
any illnesses. In America, too often women have to return to work soon
after giving birth, which can cause fatigue, anxiety, or other health
concerns. Acupuncture helps to rebuild the constitution after giving
birth, which means building the body’s energy, restoring the blood and
healthy fluids, and bringing the body back into balance. Even with the
best of intentions, illness may arise. Acupuncture can help – it is a
low risk, safe, and effective way to restore health without having to
take medications unless they’re absolutely necessary. Chinese medicine
has been helping women post-partum for over 2,000 years. See what
acupuncture can help you with today so you can enjoy your new baby
without worrying about your health.

Acupuncture treats post-partum depression
Post-partum
depression is not uncommon. Giving birth is exhausting. Hormones are
flooding the body. In acupuncture theory, post-partum depression is
easily explained. In fact, the oldest books on Chinese medicine describe
post-partum depression and how to treat it. We build up the
constitution by replacing fluids and blood lost during childbirth. We
invigorate the flow of the body’s energy and the circulation of blood.
We calm the mind. This treatment strategy helps with depression, mood
swings, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, obsessive thoughts, and phobias so
you can enjoy life with your newborn baby.
Acupuncture treats anxiety after childbirth
Becoming
a parent is a new and exciting time. Life changes, and those changes
can provoke anxiety. Acupuncture can help restore balance and calm, so
the world can change and you can stay steady. Acupuncture treats
anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and irritability.
Acupuncture treats post-partum fatigue
Acupuncture
and herbs can help a woman recover after labor and delivery.
Acupuncture can be used to improve fatigue by building energy,
fortifying the blood and balancing the constitution. Acupuncture can
also help with shortness of breath, sweating and cough related to
fatigue after childbirth.
Acupuncture can treat sweating after pregnancy
Sweating
after pregnancy can either accompany fatigue, in which case you usually
have daytime sweating, or occur at night, as night sweats with or
without insomnia and vivid dreaming. Either way, acupuncture can treat
sweating after pregnancy by improving the body’s energy, blood and
fluids. Treatments are nourishing and soothing. In severe cases, herbs
may be used to stop sweating.
Acupuncture can increase breast milk production for insufficient lactation
Acupuncture
and herbs can be used to increase breast milk production, improve flow
of breast milk and treat mastitis. Acupuncture nourishes the blood and
improves the energy to increase breast milk production. Acupuncture
unblocks the milk ducts to allow better milk flow. Clogged milk ducts
and mastitis can be safely treated with acupuncture and herbs, reducing
redness, discomfort and swelling.
Acupuncture treats urinary difficulty after childbirth
Acupuncture
can be used to treat both blocked urination and urinary dribbling after
childbirth. By strengthening the body’s energy overall and in the organ
systems responsible for urination, symptoms such as a feeling that the
urine is stuck and won’t come out or even that the urine dribbles out at
the end of urination (weak flow) can be treated.
Acupuncture treats hemorrhoids after pregnancy
In
acupuncture theory, hemorrhoids can be caused by a weakness in the
body’s energy, which is common after pregnancy or labor and delivery.
Acupuncture treats this deficiency, by building the energy back up,
harmonizing the blood to stop any bleeding that may occur from the
hemorrhoid, stop pain, and facilitate bowel movements. Chinese herbs can
also be used topically or internally to treat hemorrhoids, supporting
the acupuncture treatment. We will also talk about dietary changes that
may help improve hemorrhoid symptoms.
Acupuncture treats vaginal discharge after pregnancy
Lochia
is the normal vaginal discharge that follows pregnancy as the uterus
sheds remaining cells. It is typically pink, red or brown. Occasionally,
it is white. Acupuncture can treat retention of lochia, which causes
vaginal discharge to occur for several weeks, sometimes as many as 6
weeks. Acupuncture facilitates the shedding by stimulating and tonifying
the uterus and its normal muscle function. Herbs can be used to speed
the process in some cases. While lochia is normal, an extended shedding
is unpleasant and not-beneficial. Acupuncture can help clean out the
uterus so it can return to its pre-pregnancy state.
Acupuncture treats Bell’s Palsy after childbirth
Acupuncture
treats Bell’s Palsy, which can occur at any time in a person’s life.
Unfortunately, women are particularly susceptible after childbirth when
they’re already fatigued and taxed by labor delivery. This usually
temporary cause of facial paralysis responds very well to acupuncture
treatments, especially when treatment is started soon after the onset of
symptoms (within a few days). This is when prognosis is best. Paralysis
symptoms may disappear spontaneously, but can be permanent. Don’t delay
making an appointment if you’re experiencing Bell’s Palsy symptoms.
