Is it allowed to take Acupuncture during lactation? |
|
|
Acupuncture has been used by traditional Chinese Medicine to improve milk production and as a treatment of milk stasis ("plethora") and mastitis. Although high quality scientific evidence is lacking, published papers are promising: acupuncture treatment done by experts could be useful to manage specific breastfeeding problems. |
