Need Proof it Works?

A study in 2005 (Complement Ther Med) revealed that the number of women who went into labour was significantly higher than women who were not using maternity acupressure.

Morning sickness and nausea associated with pregnancy can be relieved by simply triggering an acupressure point that rebalances the parasympathetic system responsible for that nauseas feeling. Specific points exist for alleviating back pain and headaches. Similarly, labor pain is relieved by triggering these points.

Results published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2004 showed that by stimulating one single acupressure point labor pains were significantly reduced and total labor time was shortened by more than 2 hours. Unlike pain relief medications such as epidurals, acupressure does not slow down the labor process hence reducing the risk of complications to the baby. There is no evidence of any adverse effects on mother or baby.

Maternity Acupressure is the recommended method to induce naturally by health care professionals.
