Motherwarming

Picture
"Mother warming" is a unique treatment given around day 4 or 5 post birth. It can be utilized to energize women and aid in their recovery.
This is a moxa technique used to tonify post-birth. Most commonly a  moxa stick will be used to warm the woman's abdomen for 5-10 minutes or until the woman feels pleasantly warm. The moxa stick may also be used to warm the low back for 5-10 minutes.
Other treatments are available if the woman has a temperature, is experiencing night sweats or if there are any signs of infection of a cesarean scar.

What Our patients Are Saying

I feel extrememly fortunate to have found Rob and Emden! Both are practioners with great knowledge of Eastern Medicine/Acupuncture and know how to meet and offer support for the individual who seeks their care. I feel comforted just entering the waiting room and great ease and respite as I am listened to and met as I share my concerns. I always leave my treatment more knowledgeable about how I can meet my pain/sickness and more relaxed because I allowed myself to be cared for."
