Oriental medicine has a long history of helping women grow healthy babies and stay energised and healthy during pregnancy. In the Oriental Medicine view, pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal recovery are viewed as a window of opportunity to enhance a woman's well being. Oriental medicine can be safely and effectively used to address a variety of problems that can arise from the first trimester through to labour and post-natally. Women who receive acupuncture regularly during pregnancy often experience easier deliveries and a quicker post natal recovery.

If adequate care is taken, any resulting problems can be addressed and do not need to continue long after the birth.

Oriental Medicine can help address:
• Nausea
• Muscular & Skeletal pain
• Tiredness & Exhaustion
• Threatened miscarriage
• Anxiety & Hypertension
• Headaches
