Prenatal and Postnatal Care
Pregnancy is such an exciting time in a women’s life. It is also a time that is riddled with fear and self-doubt — what can I take, what’s safe, what’s not? Naturopathic Doctors are well trained in the safe use of herbal and homeopathic remedies during and after pregnancy.
Natural does not mean safe, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t take natural medicines during your pregnancy. In fact, Naturopathic Medicine offers many natural treatments are very safe and can provide relief for:
- Morning sickness
- Constipation
- Insomnia
- Colds and flues
- Gas, bloating and indigestion or heartburn
- Swelling of hands and feet
- Headaches
Many women also use natural medicines to help induce and manage labour.
We often use acupuncture and Moxa to support women at the end of their pregnancies for:
- breech positioning

- carpal tunnel syndrome
Once your new baby has arrived, other challenges can arise for Mom:
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Constipation
- Painful intercourse
