POSTPARTUM SUPPORT ACUPUNCTURE
In Traditional Chinese Medicine the first forty days after birth are held as a golden opportunity to nourish and support women’s health. Treatments facilitate postpartum recovery and enhance future menstrual cycles, fertility, pregnancies, and menopause.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT FREQUENCY:
To support the body in building qi and blood, we recommend having an acupuncture treatment 10 to 14 days postpartum. Your partner, support person, and baby are welcome to the appointment.
Frequency varies based on individual needs and concerns. At Purnima, we suggest starting with weekly sessions for the first 4-6 weeks postpartum. These treatments strengthen the body, support recovery and immunity, nourish blood productivity, support milk supply, and soothe the nervous system and emotions.
After this initial period, frequency is adjusted based on progress and specific needs, with treatments possibly tapering to biweekly or monthly.
SYMPTOMS & CONDITIONS TREATED:
Aiding postpartum recovery, postpartum emotional balance, increasing milk supply, clogged ducts, mastitis, prolapse, urinary incontinence, pelvic floor issues, fatigue, postpartum anxiety and depression, night sweats
