Postpartum Care

Many cultures hold a special celebration for the arrival of their new baby. It is important that the mother and child are well-fed and supported in the first month to ensure that their health and well-being is maintained. However, in our culture women are expected to return to work immediately after giving birth. This often leaves new mothers fatigued, anxious, prone to complications. These effects on the mother can also affect their baby’s causing anxiety, fuzziness, and sleep issues. Traditional Chinese Medicine also offers a combination of acupuncture, herbs, diet, and lifestyle is applied to support new mothers and their baby’s health and wellness.
