Acupressure to Induce Labor

Many women wish to naturally induce labor. Using acupressure points is one method that may help start or speed up labor. Proponents of acupressure as an induction aid believe it works by encouraging cervical dilation and stimulating productive contractions.

Using acupressure to induce labor is one of the most effective, and most pleasant, methods of natural labor induction. It is similar to using reflexology to induce labor or visiting a chiropractor for an adjustment.
