I wanted to create a free, easily accessible guide which focuses on exploring East Asian Medicine’s (acupuncture, acupressure and moxibustion) effectiveness and safety for treating various conditions in pregnancy and postpartum. My hope is that pregnant people and their healthcare providers will use this information to increase their awareness of the available treatment options for common issues seen during pregnancy. 

I want this information to be useful for the general public as well as perinatal health professionals, so I have included tips about how to read research as well as links to the reviews and studies.  Last, I felt it was important to include links (found in the “Resources” section at the bottom of each page) to connect pregnant and postpartum people as well as their caregivers to trustworthy organizations that can further assist and educate them on various conditions.
