Pregnancy
Pregnancy is an extraordinary process for women. This brings major changes in a woman’s body from the moment of conception to delivery, and beyond. This is the period that requires a significant change in a woman’s diet, life-style and care. Many Western therapies may not offer the best options during pregnancy nor pay too much attention to the mother’s care. Oriental medicine, when preformed by a qualified practitioner, is safe and effective in treating many disorders during pregnancy for the mother and for the baby to be born.
