Acupuncture for labor induction is a gentle, natural approach that uses targeted stimulation of specific points on the body to help encourage the onset of labor. This technique can support the body’s natural readiness for childbirth by promoting relaxation, balancing hormones, and encouraging optimal positioning of the baby. It is often used in the final weeks of pregnancy as a way to help prepare both body and mind for labor, and may be especially helpful for those looking to avoid medical induction or support a more holistic birth experience.
