The Benefits of Post Natal Acupuncture

Here at Creation Acupuncture we now offer Post Natal Acupuncture for birth recovery. This can be for up to 2 years after birth.

After the birth:

It is common to experience blood loss at birth, sleep deprivation and energy depletion. As a new mother you may experience a range of emotions including anxiety and stress. Totally normal! But....

All of these contribute to the Chinese Medicine Diagnoses:

• Blood Deficiency

• Spleen Deficiency

• Kidney Deficiency

With Post Natal Acupuncture we can:

• Enhance energy levels

• Promote uterine recovery

• Reduce anxiety and stress

• Improve sleep

• Treat mastitis

• Balance the hormones

This is done by:

• Strengthening the Kidney energy '

• Strengthening the Spleen energy

• Nourishing the Blood

• Warming the Uterus

Cold Invasion:

During childbirth, especially C sections and long labours, environmental cold enters the uterus and fertility organs. This can lead to pain and blockages that could potentially affect implantation for future pregnancies. However it is easily treated with:

• Post natal acupuncture

• Moxa on your uterus and feet

• Keeping your uterus warm in the weeks post birth. Make sure to continue wearing socks and slippers, vest and consuming warm foods and drinks. Nutrient rich soups and cooked meals are ideal for the weeks following the birth.

Treating the Baby or Toddler:

Did you know that for the first two years of a child's life, they share cells with their mother?

In paediatric acupuncture, we treat the mother to treat the child under the age of 2.

The baby can stay at home as we support your immune and digestive systems and promote relaxation. Reducing stress and anxiety calms the vagus nerve and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. The vagus nerve is fundamental to digestive health, as it acts as the primary communication between the brain and the digestive tract.

The more relaxed you are and therefore the more relaxed the baby is, the less likely they are to suffer from digestive issues.

Here are some minor conditions that can be treated and prevented with paediatric and post natal acupuncture:

• Colic

• Reflux

• Mild diarrhoea

• Common cold

Babies and children hold their Qi (energy in the meridians) very close to the surface, compared to adults. Their energy moves faster. Children also tend to have stronger Qi than adults and this is evident in how much energy they have! All of this means that children respond quickly to holistic treatment such as remote acupuncture on the mother.

I would recommend individual sessions as a course of sessions is usually not required.
