During the post natal period conditions such as mastitis, poor milk production and depression are the most common conditions to treat. In addition, acupuncture has a proven affect on maturing the cervix before birth as well as offering pain relief during birth. Acupuncture treatment during pregnancy benefits both mother and child. The baby’s vital organs are developed at specific stages in pregnancy. During gestation the baby can be affected by toxins in the mother, something which in childhood years can lead to a proneness to higher fevers when ill, more frequent illnesses and a tendency to suffer skin problems like rashes and eczema. Regular treatment throughout pregnancy balances the mother’s health to the benefit of the fetus and also helps in preventing complications.
