The Real Story

There was an acupuncture visit booked with intention to induce the labor. What was a surprise that the patient was a woman who I helped to conceive few years ago in our clinic. Then she tried to conceive for couple of years without result and in our clinic, she got pregnant after the third acupuncture session.

Now, she was pregnant with a second child and asked me for a labor induction. This case is hard to forget because of our conversation during the acupuncture treatment. I asked the patient how she felt during her pregnancy and she told me how much she suffered from quite a few health issues like morning sickness, heartburns, variety of discomforts during both pregnancies, When I asked her why she never asked me if I could help, she was looking at me surprisingly and quietly.

She never thought acupuncture could be that magic stick that could help her to get rid of all those health mishaps. She had only one acupuncture treatment for inducing the labor and I taught her how to continue the procedure at home. After few days, she called me to say thanks for her labor was quick and easy.

Clinical Relevance

Labor induction is a choice that some pregnant women decide to have. It definitely can ease sensations and shorten the suffering during labor. The most important is to feel calm and peaceful when the final stage of pregnancy is coming. And, obviously, it’s important to be in a state of mind and body balance.

You can learn how to create and control this balance by reading the pages 19-49 and 61-64 in my book, Your MindBody Alliance & The Truth About Acupuncture.

Our clinical experience shows that people who are not educated in anatomy and physiology are not aware of how to preserve their health. The lack of knowledge and understanding how mind and body correlate leads people to feel out of control over their own health. Reading this book everyone becomes knowledgeable enough to withstand any body health problem and preserve one’s health.
