8th Month (week 29-32) Pregnancy Care 懷孕後期養胎

Ni Hao Dear, welcome to your 8th month of pregnancy. Your Large Intestine meridian is responsible for nurturing the fetus. Acupuncture along the Large Intestine meridian must be avoided in the 8th month. This meridian starts from index finger → up the arm laterally → shoulder → side of neck → ends by the nose. Large Intestine meridian oversees the formation of nine orifices.

Fetus receives Earth Essence (Spleen) this month to form the skin. By keeping a calm mind, steady breath, and not exhausting your Qi (energy) will help firm the fetus’ interstitial space (skin layers) and a healthy lustrous the skin.

Cautionary tips:
• Avoid drying foods (pro-inflammatory, foods that dehydrates)
• Avoid skipping meals
• Avoid over eating (over-doing of things)

Dr. Kai-Yun’s

孕媽咪妳好,歡迎來到妊娠第八個月(29-32週),手陽明大腸經養胎,不可針灸其經 (商陽、二間、合谷、上下廉、三里、曲池、肩井等穴)。大腸經從第二指開始 → 上肢面前的外側 → 肩 → 側頸 → 直到鼻側。

妊娠七月,始受土精 (五行: 脾臟),以成皮膚。心情保持平和,穩順呼吸,不耗氣到極致,這樣才能讓寶寶的皮下組織長密,也讓寶寶肌膚健康有光澤喔。

其他媽咪注意事項:
• 不吃燥熱食物
• 不餓過頭
• 不吃過量

鄭凱勻醫師之《古老智慧與現代健康》:

★ 這個月也是現代胚胎學所知的皮膚形成為不透明狀。

徐之才《逐月養胎方》原文:

『妊娠八月,始生土精,以成膚革,和心靜息,無使氣極,是調密腠理,而光澤顏色。妊娠八月,手陽明脈養,不可針灸其經,如商陽、二間、合谷、上下廉、三里、曲池、肩井等穴是也。手陽明內屬於大腸,主九竅,八月之時,兒九竅皆成,無食燥物,無輒失食,無忍大起。』
