Understanding the Root Cause

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), lactation difficulties often arise from Qi and Blood deficiency, Liver Qi stagnation, or Spleen Qi weakness affecting milk production and flow. These imbalances can reduce milk supply or cause breast pain and swelling, with contributing factors including emotional stress, fatigue, improper diet, and the natural depletion following childbirth.

Our Personalised Treatment Approach

Our approach combines:

Acupuncture: Stimulate milk production and relieve breast engorgement

Herbal Medicine: Nourish Blood and clear stagnation naturally

Dietary Guidance: Enhance milk quality and maternal energy
