Pre-birth Acupuncture????

We get asked a lot about Acupuncture's use in the birth process. So let's quickly discuss what is it all about!

Pre-birth Acupuncture is the use of Acupuncture in the lead up to the natural birth process traditionally starting at 36 weeks. Weekly sessions are aimed at increasing readiness of the body physically for labour. The most recent review of research was conducted in 2017 showing that Acupuncture and Acupressure may increase the readiness of the cervix for labour but did not reduce Caesarian section rates.

Previous small scale studies ( 169 women receiving pre-birth Acupuncture) showed a 35% reduction in the number of medical inductions (primigravida 43% reduction) and a 31% reduction in the epidural rate. When comparing midwifery-led care only, there was a 32% reduction in emergency caesarean delivery and a 9% increase in normal vaginal birth. While not an RCT, the outcome of this study clearly suggests that pre-birth Acupuncture could have a therapeutic effect in assisting women to achieve natural, vaginal birth and reduce the likelihood of medical intervention

How do I know if Acupuncture is working?

If you have pain this might be a simple answer but if you are coming for a more complex condition, treatment and healing takes time. So we need to look at the overall picture and not the day to day.

It might be noticing that your condition is less frequent, less duration or less intense. You might also notice other changes such as better sleep, more energy, and feeling less stressed.

Feeling a bit down?

Why not cheer your mood with a good book or even an audiobook! Here is our list, do you have any other suggestions?

📖 Studies show that 6 minutes of reading can lower heart rate and muscle tension, similar to meditation.

📖 Reading can let you step outside daily worries, offering a break that can feel restorative.

📖 More challenging material gives your brain a “workout,” which can be stimulating and rewarding.

Spring may be almost in the air in Melbourne, with these sunny days but it definately isn't warm!

So here is some advice your Chinese Grandmother would give you if you had one; Don't leave the house with wet hair!

Wet hair on the neck leave the muscles and nerve supply exposed to cold and wind. From a traditional Chinese Medicine perspective this can cause pain, headaches and even weaken you immunity!

Let's talk HERBS 🌿

Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine is the traditional use of herbal medicinals including plants, seeds, minerals, roots and more. In modern practice we do not use animal products. Herbal medicine dates back to 300BCE.

Chinese herbal medicine is different to Naturoapthy or Western herbal medicine as its philosophy is deeply rooted in Chinese Medicine. In fact in Asia it is so common that many people even cook with Chinese herbs to cure day to day ailments, going to a herbalist for more complex prescriptions.

Chinese herbal medicine can be used by itself or in conjunction to other treatments such as Acupuncture. It can be a great adjunct even to conditions that may not initially come to mind such as PAIN!
