So what happens to our flow of qi during and after cesarean birth?
The abdomen includes the meridian systems of the spleen, stomach, kidney and the conception vessel (Ren). The modern horizontal, “bikini” incision for a cesarean section divides through at least the conception vessel, kidney, and stomach channels, and may include the spleen as well.
As it’s major abdominal surgery, it often results in Qi blockage, often felt as numbness, tingling and/or pain and often is the answer to the unexplainable sensations in our bodies that modern Western medicine reports as normal.
The numbness that often accompanies recovery and may last a lifetime can be explained as the flow of qi not recovering properly in one or multiple of these meridians.
When and why get a cesarian scar bridging session?
The right time to get session is when your scar has healed, at around 6 weeks, where there is no redness pain or oozing at the site. If in doubt, the surgical site needs to be medically evaluated.
According to Li Shi-Zhen “The conception vessel and the governing vessel are like midnight and midday, they are the polar axis of the body…there is one source and two branches, one goes to the front and the other to the back of the body…When we try to divide these, we see that yin and yang are inseparable. When we try to see them as one, we see that it is an indivisible whole.”

The Ins and Outs of Postnatal Acupuncture
Give yourself the support you need during your postnatal period.
“Nourish the mumma to nourish the child”
Chinese medicine has historically placed great importance on the postnatal phase, known as the golden month, 30-40 days taken from 3 days post birth. Diet and rest are the key elements to encourage lactation and recovery from childbirth or a miscarriage.
Focusing on these things was traditionally seen as important for ensuring future fertility, strength, and wellbeing. Childbirth is seen as a major loss of QI (Vital Energy) and Blood. Clearly, women lose a lot of Blood and QI during and post birth in varying degrees which affects organs such as Spleen (producer of blood), Liver (storer of blood), Heart (commander of Blood), are deficient because of this loss.
The golden month was respected as a time of recovery and rest where specific foods were eaten to provide the necessary nourishment. 30 days is the time it takes to regenerate from the entirety of pregnancy and birth. Huge! It’s a time to rest when possible, build exercise back in gradually and wisely and choose a diet that focuses on building blood and energy.
Culturally, this period of recovery isn’t generally as readily acknowledged. There can be a sense of needing to get back into life and pushing back out into the world quicker than you feel ready within this fresh and vulnerable period post birth. Perhaps you have felt this
