Miscarriage is a devastating experience for women no matter how early or late it occurs during pregnancy. This is especially true for women who have had repeated miscarriages. Conventional medicine offers little in terms of correcting the imbalances
that cause miscarriage to happen. In contrast, Traditional Chinese Medicine provides a complete and effective framework to support and stabilize your pregnancy. With hundreds of Acupuncture and herbal protocols at our disposal, we
can tailor a treatment plan designed to correct the disharmony that is causing problems with your pregnancy.
In terms of miscarriage prevention, preparation is the key. If you have had one or more miscarriages, you may have subtle imbalances that can be corrected after a complete, holistic assessment. Once we determine the disharmony that is preventing your body
from carrying to term, we develop a comprehensive treatment plan to restore balance to your entire body so that your next pregnancy has a stronger foundation. Things that can lead to miscarriage include:
- Blood supply issues - Lack of nourishment, blood too thick (clotting), blood lacking in nutritive capacity
- Constitutional weakness of the mother - Poor digestion, slow metabolism, weak holding capacity of the Uterus
- Obstruction - Toxins in the body, excess weight
- Poor/improper diet - Eating the wrong foods for your constitution, eating at the wrong times
There are other causes as well that Traditional Chinese Medicine takes into account, all of which we can attempt to correct using natural therapies.
It is important to remember that not all miscarriages are your fault! In approximately 60% of early miscarriages, the problem is a genetic anomaly or other issue with the baby,
not the mother's inability to carry the baby. This is simply
nature's way of dealing with the problem of a baby that will be incapable of survival outside the mother's womb. It is natural, and more common that you might think.
