How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views labour preparation as optimizing the smooth flow of Qi and Blood while balancing Liver and Kidney systems to ensure the body is energetically and physically ready for delivery.
Labour preparation during the final weeks of pregnancy is crucial for promoting a smoother, more efficient birthing process while supporting both physical readiness and emotional confidence as you approach delivery. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine from week 36 onward to encourage optimal baby positioning, soften tissues, promote relaxation, and prepare your body naturally for the birthing experience ahead.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), labour is guided by the strength and smooth flow of Qi and Blood, along with the balance of Liver and Kidney systems governing reproductive function. If energy is blocked or the body is depleted, it may lead to delayed labour, excessive fatigue, or prolonged contractions, making preparation essential for optimal birthing outcomes.
