Losing a pregnancy is painful, and losing more than one can make hope feel fragile. Traditional Chinese Medicine has cared for women through pregnancy loss for centuries, and it approaches it by strengthening the foundation, before and during pregnancy.
How Chinese medicine understands recurrent miscarriage
Classical Chinese medicine describes the ability to conceive and hold a pregnancy as depending on the strength of the Kidney, the Spleen, the Blood and the Chong and Ren vessels that nourish the uterus. In recurrent miscarriage these are often found weakened or unbalanced, sometimes with stagnation or heat. Your pattern is identified in consultation, and it guides your treatment.
What treatment involves
Care combines acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, natural supplements, and diet and lifestyle guidance. The aim is to nourish and steady the body before you try again, and to continue gentle support through early pregnancy.
Your first visit
Your first visit is an unhurried consultation covering your history, your cycles, digestion, sleep, tongue and pulse, and how you are feeling. I build a plan around your pattern and review it with you as we go.
