Patient Background / Story

Priya Callahan first reached out to GinSen when she was facing something no expectant mother should have to face, a pregnancy where her baby’s growth was being restricted, and conventional medicine could only monitor, not resolve it.

Her first baby had been diagnosed with a heart issue that was compromising blood flow. Her second pregnancy brought a different but equally worrying complication, a problem with the umbilical cord that was once again limiting how well her baby could grow. In both cases, her babies were medically classified as infant growth restricted, a diagnosis that left Priya feeling helpless and desperate for something more she could do.
She found GinSen. And everything changed.

How We Helped : The GinSen TCM Way

At GinSen, we believe that supporting a pregnancy means supporting the whole system, mother and baby together. With Priya, the focus was clear: improve blood flow, nourish the placenta, and create the best possible internal environment for her babies to grow. In TCM, circulation is life, and where circulation is restored, growth follows.

1. Improving Blood Flow and Foetal Circulation

In TCM, foetal growth restriction is closely linked to poor Blood circulation and Qi stagnation. A baby cannot grow well if it is not receiving adequate nourishment through the placenta. Using a personalised Co GinSen Root Tea formula, we worked to strengthen Priya’s blood circulation, support placental function, and improve the flow of vital nutrients to her baby in both pregnancies.

2. Supporting Heart Function and Umbilical Cord Health

In her first pregnancy, the heart issue affecting her baby required targeted support to improve cardiac circulation and reduce restriction. In her second, the umbilical cord complication demanded a focus on vascular health and optimal blood flow through the cord. In both cases, our herbal formulas were tailored specifically to address the underlying circulatory challenges unique to each pregnancy.

3. Acupuncture During Pregnancy

Regular acupuncture sessions throughout both pregnancies played a vital role in stimulating healthy circulation, supporting Priya’s nervous system, reducing stress, and encouraging the body to direct vital energy and blood flow where it was needed most  to her growing babies.

4. Pregnancy Massage for Circulation and Comfort

Specialist pregnancy massage was incorporated to complement the acupuncture, further supporting blood flow, easing physical tension, and helping Priya feel cared for and supported throughout what were undeniably stressful and emotionally demanding pregnancies.

What Her Plan Looked Like

Herbal Remedies:

Treatments:

  • Acupuncture – throughout both pregnancies to stimulate circulation and support foetal development
  • Pregnancy Massage – to support blood flow, ease tension and promote overall wellbeing during pregnancy

Diet and Lifestyle Support:

  • Warm, nourishing foods to support Blood production and circulation
  • Adequate warm fluid intake to support kidney function and blood volume
  • Rest and stress reduction to preserve vital energy for foetal growth
  • Gentle daily movement to encourage healthy circulation

The Result

The results across both of Priya’s pregnancies spoke for themselves.

In her first pregnancy, with a baby facing a heart issue and compromised blood flow, GinSen’s combined approach of acupuncture, pregnancy massage, and personalised herbal tea helped turn the tide. By the time her baby was born, growth restriction had been overcome, her baby had reached a small but medically normal size.

She came back for her second pregnancy, again facing foetal growth concerns, this time due to an umbilical cord complication. Once again, with the same dedicated team and a tailored treatment plan, her baby moved from growth restricted to achieving a healthy size before birth.
