What it is
Fine, single-use sterile needles are placed at chosen points to influence the flow of Qi and Blood along the meridians. For women’s health, timing is often planned around the cycle.
Assessment and planning
Your symptoms, history and medication guide whether acupuncture is suitable. Tell Elizabeth about pregnancy, plans to conceive, bleeding conditions and blood-thinning medication. The number and timing of sessions are individual, not a standard package.
Tell us first if
- Some points are avoided in pregnancy, so tell us your gestation
- Blood-thinning medication or bleeding conditions
- Avoid treatment on an empty stomach or when exhausted
