PREGNANCY / POSTPARTUM
Pregnancy is the period which medications should be avoided. Conditions that can affect the pregnant woman, such as nausea, low back pain, headache, migraine, insomnia, and fatigue, can certainly be treated with Chinese Medicine, safely relieving the symptoms described.
Indications
1st trimester (Up to 12 week scan)
Acupuncture is recommended every week to two weeks, up to 12 weeks, to reduce the chances of miscarriage and to ensure good blood quality and circulation for you and your baby. It is also useful for reducing the effects of stress and worry, and is commonly used to help alleviate common conditions of early pregnancy such as morning sickness and fatigue.
After 12 weeks, Renata will evaluate and recommend the correct treatment.
The postpartum period is quite intense and sensitive. Many changes have taken place and many others are still in process. The woman’s body has just gone through a great and different experience at a physical and psycho-emotional level. According to Chinese Medicine, certain physical and/or emotional imbalances occur due to the wear caused by childbirth. Considering the great loss of fluids and blood that the new mother loses in childbirth as well as her significant effort, she ends up losing a lot of energy. For this, the new mum should try to eat properly, rest whenever possible and avoid unnecessary wear. And for those who are struggling physically and/or emotionally, Acupuncture is a great match to help to restore health in this new period.
