Acupuncture for new mums
Postpartum acupuncture is great to help speed up recovery time after birth.
If you are having any breastfeeding issues, Chinese herbs and acupuncture can help boost milk supply, encourage let down and help clear mastitis. Treatments may also regulate your hormones and balance moods.
I know there’s pressure to be a ‘super-mum’. Trying to keep up with impossible standards can lead to extreme stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression. It’s crucial to carve out time for self-care.
Traditional Chinese medicine says ‘feed the mother to feed the child’. Having an acupuncture session is the perfect opportunity to rest and rejuvenate.

Quality ‘me time’
Acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine offers many potential benefits for postpartum mothers:
Support for Hormonal Balance: TCM herbal remedies and acupuncture may help hormonal fluctuations that occur after childbirth, potentially easing mood swings, and supporting overall emotional well-being.
Nourishment and Replenishment: TCM emphasises the importance of nourishing the body postpartum, as childbirth can be physically taxing. Herbal tonics and dietary recommendations may be prescribed to replenish nutrients and support your body's recovery.
Management of Postpartum Symptoms: TCM treatments can target specific postpartum symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, digestive issues, and vaginal discharge. Acupuncture, herbal remedies, and dietary adjustments may be recommended to alleviate these discomforts.
Prevention and Treatment of Postpartum Depression: TCM approaches postpartum depression holistically, addressing physical, emotional, and mental aspects of health. Acupuncture and herbal medicine may be used to rebalance energy flow and support emotional well-being.
Assistance with Lactation: Some TCM herbs and acupuncture points are believed to support lactation by enhancing milk production and flow. Additionally, TCM dietary recommendations may include foods known to promote lactation.
Strengthening of the Pelvic Floor: TCM exercises such as tai chi and qigong may help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles postpartum, aiding in recovery from childbirth and potentially reducing the risk of pelvic floor disorders.
Support for Uterine Recovery: TCM treatments focus on supporting the body's natural healing processes, which can aid in uterine recovery and promote the restoration of normal menstrual cycles postpartum.
Stress Reduction and Relaxation: TCM therapies such as acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine may help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can be beneficial for postpartum mothers adjusting to new roles and responsibilities.
Individualised Care: TCM practitioners typically provide personalised treatment plans tailored to each individual's unique needs and constitution. This approach allows for targeted support based on specific postpartum symptoms and concerns.
