It is extremely useful for pregnant women and studies have shown how effective it can be when treating the symptoms of morning sickness. Although certain acupuncture points must not be used during pregnancy, a qualified practitioner will know these and act accordingly. This is one of many reasons why it is important to make sure your practitioner is qualified with the BRITISH ACUPUNCTURE COUNCIL.
Patients will not be asked to stop any medication even though its no barrier.. However, a full list of medication should be brought to the consultation.
