Postpartum Recovery with Chinese Medicine
Gentle, Natural Support After Birth
Giving birth is a powerful, life-changing experience—but it’s also one of the most physically and emotionally demanding events a woman’s body can go through. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the postpartum period is known as “Golden Month” (坐月子)—a critical time for rest, nourishment, and proper recovery.
At our clinic, we provide safe, natural, and individualized support for new mothers, helping restore balance and strength after childbirth.
🔹 Common Conditions After Birth That We Treat:
1. Fatigue and Weakness Blood and energy (Qi) are heavily depleted during labor and delivery. Many women feel exhausted, dizzy, or easily overwhelmed. Chinese herbs and gentle acupuncture help replenish Qi and Blood, restoring vitality and mental clarity.
2. Insufficient Breast Milk / Lactation Issues If milk supply is low, slow to come in, or blocked, we use herbs that are safe for breastfeeding to gently promote milk flow, nourish the Spleen and Stomach, and relieve emotional tension that may inhibit lactation.
3. Postpartum Depression / Anxiety Emotional imbalances after childbirth are common. TCM recognizes the importance of harmonizing the Heart, Liver, and Spleen systems to support emotional well-being. Acupuncture and herbal support can ease mood swings, promote restful sleep, and stabilize emotions naturally.
4. Night Sweats or Spontaneous Sweating Often caused by Yin and Blood deficiency, these symptoms are gently corrected with nourishing herbs and acupuncture to support hormonal and fluid balance.
5. Poor Appetite, Digestion, or Constipation After birth, many women experience digestive sluggishness. We use formulas and dietary guidance to strengthen the digestive system, ensuring nutrients are properly absorbed to support healing.
6. Pelvic or Lower Back Pain Due to the strain of delivery and hormonal changes, many women feel aches or instability. Acupuncture and moxibustion can help relieve pain and warm the meridians, especially in colder months or for those with Qi and Blood deficiency.
