ACUPUNCTURE,  HERBAL MEDICINE,  BODY THERAPY,  NUTRITION  &  LIFESTYLE CONSULTATION 
 

Starting Acupuncture in the last trimester of pregnancy is optimal when preparing for labor and delivery - ideally starting around 32 weeks and continuing treatment until baby is delivered. Research shows that regular acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies during the last trimester lowers numerous risk factors: i.e. preterm labor, preeclampsia, stalled labor, fewer epidural and c-section rates, reduced anxiety, and fewer postpartum complications among others.

Winter Solstice Dōngzhì Festival (Chinese: 冬至; pinyin: Dōngzhì; lit. 'winter's extreme') is one of the most important Chinese and East Asian festivals. It is celebrated during the Dongzhi (winter solstice) between December 21 to December 23 each year. WINTER SOLSTICE marks the turn from Fall into Winter, and in traditions around the world, it is a time for inward reflection and celebration of the beginning return of the sun's "light."

Starting regular acupuncture treatments at 34 weeks can significantly improve labor and delivery outcomes. The research evidence on Labor and Delivery Acupuncture is pretty overwhelming - with higher rates of successful vaginal births and greatly reduced medical interventions - i.e. fewer episiotomies, much less use of vacuum-extractors or forceps, fewer medical inductions with Pitocin, and far fewer cesarean surgeries.
