Common FAQs
Does acupuncture help with IVF treatments and labour preparation?
Yes. Absolutely. Jacqueline is experienced in supporting IVF with acupuncture as well as labour preparation. It is best to start treatments in week 36 to help with a smooth delivery.
Do I need to take herbs and do they taste funny?
No, you do not need to take herbal medicine and acupuncture on its own can be very powerful. However, herbal tea may be recommended as well and can support progress dramatically especially if weekly acupuncture sessions aren’t always feasible.
The herbs are ordered through a third-party certified supplier. Granules are to be mixed with warm water to make a “tea”. It can be bitter or quite pleasant tasting, entirely dependent on your prescription.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Any medical diagnoses/reports and recent blood results can be helpful. Wear comfortable clothes if practical.
