Postpartum recovery
Postpartum care — energy, mood, milk supply, and pelvic recovery — supported with acupuncture and herbs at AHC Chicago.
Overview
About postpartum recovery
Chinese Medicine takes the postpartum window seriously — a period of temporary Qi and Blood deficiency that responds well to focused nutritive care. Many cultures across Asia have formalized postpartum recovery traditions; the underlying pattern-thinking applies well to modern patients regardless of background.
Treatment
How we treat it
Sessions are gentle and restorative, often with a stronger emphasis on herbal support than needling in the first weeks. We work around infant feeding and sleep schedules. Postpartum depression symptoms are treated in coordination with any mental health care.
