Pregnancy Care & Chinese Medicine

Pregnancy and post-partum is a time of tremendous healing potential. Traditionally it is thought of a period where we can heal past diseases or if we are not careful create new ones. We are so fortunate that Chinese medicine has cared about this stage of life for 3000 years. Our earliest texts discuss the complex nature of pregnancy care. There is no modern condition or disease in pregnancy and postpartum that Chinese medicine does not address. Most importantly, Chinese medicine focuses on life nourishing practices for pregnancy and postpartum.
