The beautiful baby acupuncture point has been used for centuries to ensure a healthy, beautiful baby. During the 1st & 2nd trimesters, this point is gently stimulated, traditionally with a golden needle. Gold is warm by nature & works well to stimulate Qi. These days, single use stainless steel needles are used, combined with moxibustion, to achieve a comparable warming effect.
Kidney 9 or ‘Zhubin’ is translated as ‘Guest Building’. ‘Guest’ refers to the fetus and ‘Building’ refers to it growing/ developing inside the woman’s body.
Zhubin is a powerful point. It is connected to the meridian system working to calm the mind, build blood in the body to help strengthen & nourish, mother & baby when stimulated. It is located above the medial malleolus, right below the calf muscle.
A registered acupuncturist is able to locate this point on each individual precisely & often integrates it’s application with other point combinations to treat pregnancy related discomforts such as nausea (morning sickness), sciatica, insomnia, restless legs syndrome etc..
