Easier pregnancy

Chinese medicine is also excellent for encouraging a trouble-free pregnancy. Indeed, it is often the only recourse to toxic medications, which can harm the fetus. Common pregnancy issues that respond well to Chinese medicine include:

​

• Nausea relief (morning sickness)

• Holding a pregnancy after frequent miscarriages

• Anxiety

• Allergies during pregnancy

• Lower and upper back pain

• Heartburn

• Fetus positioning (making sure the baby’s head is down in the final weeks of pregnancy)

• Inducing labor if necessary

Postpartum

 
Acupuncture and Chinese herb treatments are also very effective for:

​

• Postpartum depression

• Insufficient or slow lactation

• Persistent lochial discharge (bleeding too long after delivery)

• Fatigue

• Decreased sex drive

• Pain in upper back and arms from holding the baby
