Our whole health depends greatly upon a sophisticated balance within our body, mind, and spirit.
When one or more of these aspects gets out of balance our whole being becomes unstable. Instability manifests itself differently in all of us. Some women may experience irregular menstruation, PMS, PCOS, infertility, endometriosis, fibroids (uterine and breast), decreased libido, depression and anxiety.
Acupuncture's main function is to promote balance within the body, mind, and spirit.
During your health history intake, Samina will ask you several questions that relate to all these aspects in your life. The whole picture allows Samina to make a treatment plan that alleviates your symptoms while healing the root of the imbalance.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy acupuncture is used throughout the process.
In the first trimester, treatments are geared at promoting full term births, easing nausea and vomiting, and decreasing fatigue.
After the first trimester, treatment is used on an as needed basis. Such as for pain, prolonged nausea and vomiting, and hot flashes.
Towards the end of pregnancy, acupuncture may be used to treat depression (post as well), support breech presentation, and to induce labor.
