This was my second pregnancy and no issues in my first pregnancy. At 35 weeks, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia. My doctor gave me a special diet and wanted to put me on blood pressure medication. I decided I would try acupuncture and see if they could control my swelling and blood pressure with herbs and acupuncture instead of medications. I worked with Dr. Shyu and he gave me herbs and acupuncture twice weekly. I went back to my doctor appointment one week later and the doctor was surprised how my condition had changed. He assumed it was the medication he prescribed and I didn’t have the courage to tell him that I did not take it and instead did acupuncture and herbs. I thank Dr. Shyu and the Nurture staff tremendously for helping me have a safe and medication free pregnancy.
