Hypertension
Hypertension can be an issue in the third trimester. It may lead to eclampsia or toxemia. Hypertension and the related conditions can be treated effectively through acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Breech Presentation
Breech presentation can be treated with acupuncture and moxibustion. The stimulation of specific acupuncture points can turn the baby into the proper presentation.
Delayed Labor
I often see women who are past their “due date” who desire treatment to bring about labor. Acupuncture can activate the blood and qi to help the uterus contract, relax the mother and allow the natural processes to occur.
