PUPS, eczema and psoriasis are common and frustrating skin disorders that occur during pregnancy where traditional medicine has nothing to offer the suffering patient other than ineffective topical creams.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for any skin disorder that is itchy, red, pus filled and aggravating. We are able to clear inflammation, itchiness and exudation much to the pregnant woman's relief. Skin conditions can be so horrible the pregnant Mother can hardly sleep and she scratches so deeply she causes bleeding and scabbing all over her body.
An easy salve to use at home is Calendula balm that often can soothe the itch temporarily. Always, use organic, non-toxic products like the ones available from Sierra Sage Herbs made by a local midwife and sold in my practice or on her website.
