Labour induction acupuncture is a safe and gentle way to encourage the onset of labour for individuals nearing or past their due date. This traditional Chinese medicine technique uses targeted acupuncture points to support uterine contractions, promote cervical ripening, and balance hormones like oxytocin. With benefits such as reducing the need for medical induction, promoting relaxation, managing early labor pain, and potentially shortening labour, it’s an excellent natural alternative for those seeking holistic support.

Breech Presentation Acupuncture and the Benefits of Moxibustion

When used to address a breech presentation, acupuncture is often paired with moxibustion, a technique that involves burning a herb called mugwort near particular acupuncture points. Together, these therapies aim to encourage the baby to move into the optimal head-down position.
