Benefits of Postpartum Care
Physical Healing
Traditional Healing practices are believed to aid in the recovery of the reproductive system, strengthen pelvic floor muscles, improve blood replenishment, enhance lactation, and support musculoskeletal healing.
Emotional Well-Being
The emphasis on rest and reduced workload can help prevent postpartum depression and anxiety, allowing mothers to bond with their babies and adjust to their new roles.
Connection and Identity
For women, particularly those living away from family, observing traditional healing practices can be a way to connect to the community and maintain a sense of belonging.
Traditional Recovery Practices
Acupuncture
Regular treatments can speed up recovery by improving circulation,
promoting blood production, reducing organ inflammation, and aiding milk production. Acupuncture is a proven treatment for pain, anxiety/depression, metabolic issues, traumatic stress, improved digestion and many more issues.
Sitting the Month (Zuo Yue Zi)
This is a traditional period of 30 to 40 days focused entirely on rest and reset. It encourages mothers to stay indoors, avoid heavy lifting, and refrain from strenuous activity to allow the body to prioritize recovery.
Mother Warming
This practice involves using heat. In Asia this is often through moxibustion (burning mugwort). We also use heating packs—on the lower abdomen, lower back and sacrum. This is intended to "seal the gateways" opened during birth, repel wind and cold, and help organs return to their optimal positions.
Belly Binding
Using a fabric wrap or medical binder provides postural support for the hips, torso and organs as they return to pre-pregnancy positions. It can help stabilize loose ligaments, relieve back pain, and support the healing of diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation).
It's never too late to take care of ourselves postpartum, but within the first 12 weeks is optimal
