Acupuncture featured in new booklet from Anxiety uk
Some great research findings, tips and information on the efficacy of acupuncture for fertility and pregnancy support
I’m excited to share a fantastic resource for anyone interested in acupuncture and acupressure during pregnancy and childbirth.
Dr. Debra Betts, an experienced practitioner with a nursing background and PhD in acupuncture, has created a comprehensive website with evidence-based information and resources.
The website includes detailed videos and illustrated handouts showing acupressure techniques for:
- Natural pain relief during labor
- Labor preparation
- Medical induction support
- Self-stimulation techniques
What’s particularly exciting is that these acupressure techniques have shown promising results - women using these natural interventions had significantly lower rates of epidurals (24% vs 69%) and half the caesarean section rate compared to usual care groups.
