Can acupuncture help with morning sickness and hormonal changes?
The majority of women, when they get pregnant, experience some degree of morning sickness. This is a normal process and is the body’s way of communicating to you that you are pregnant and your body is beginning to change. In addition to morning sickness, hormonal changes can cause physical discomfort, fatigue, chills, sleepiness, sinus congestion, nausea, lack of concentration, irritability, et cetera. Acupuncture is a great treatment modality that continually keeps the central nervous system and hormone levels in balance during pregnancy. It helps blood flow to the uterus and helps the body become stronger so as not to miscarry. Acupuncture can work on special meridians (Stomach and Spleen) to increase the vital energy to the body and help alleviate most, if not all, of the uncomfortable symptoms associated with pregnancy.
