Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of oriental treatments to postpartum depression.
Methods: We treated 41 years old woman and 38 years old woman who had the postpartum depression. In the beginning of treatment, they had anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue. They were treated by oriental treatments such as herb medicine, acupuncture, moxa therapy. And then We compared postpartum depression before treatment with one after treatment by Edinburgh postnatal depression scale(EPDS).
Results: After the oriental treatments, the clinical symptoms were improved and EPDS was reduced (one reduces from 18 to 10, the other reduces from 17 to 8).
Conclusion: Oriental treatments are effective on postpartum depression. After this, further approach and study on postpartum depression might be needed.
