Pre-eclampsia is a serious condition in pregnancy that involves high blood pressure (greater than 140/90 millimeters of mercury(mm Hg), as well as, high levels of protein in the urine.
Acupuncture treats the root causes and symptoms associated with pre-eclampsia and is especially helpful in reducing high blood pressure in the early stages. Acupuncture also regulates hormones and the immune system which can reduce edema, abdominal pain and headaches. It is also useful managing obesity and diabetes which can be associated with pre-eclampsia. Dietary measures may also be employed to address symptoms of pre-eclampsia.
Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Raeghan, an acupuncturist with over 23 years of experience helping women feel their best — mind, body, and spirit.
