Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pre Conception Care

The Pre Conception Care program endeavours to prepare your body for pregnancy by incorporating both Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom and modern nutritional knowledge.

Traditional Chinese Medicine employs a unique and holistic system to search for health imbalances which may hinder fertility.  We examine your health in detail, in all areas – body, mind and spirit.    We identify ‘signs and symptoms’ that indicate a ‘disharmony’ within the body.  We then focus on correcting the ‘disharmony’ with a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and nutrition/diet and lifestyle advice.   This system of correcting disharmonies has been used for thousands of years.  In fact, Traditional Chinese Medicine is the longest continuous medical system practised in the world.   It is a complete system of medicine, and the ‘disharmonies’ detected form part of the ‘diagnosis’ and guide the way towards the treatments required.

To prepare your body for pregnancy Traditional Chinese Medicine investigates in detail:

• Your menstrual cycle – the regularity, the flow, the colour, symptoms such as pain, mood swings, headaches, fluid retention etc
• Your current health – your energy, sleep, digestion, etc
• Your work life balance and stressors
• Your emotional health
• Your past health and lifestyle choices and their impact

In Traditional Chinese Medicine optimum health is when all organs and energy systems in the body are in balance.  A problem in one or more of the above areas can disturb this balance and may be affecting your fertility.

What will happen?

The Preconception Care Program consists of weekly 1hr treatments, herbs and nutritional supplements for at least three consecutive months.
