It plays an important role in the traditional medical systems of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, and Mongolia. It is used indirectly or with acupuncture needles to gently warm and tonify areas or points of the body.
Supplements - The rule with supplements is that while they can be valuable for good post-natal health, they should supplement a good diet rather than compensate for a poor one.
Abdominal wrapping - The art of proper post-pregnancy compression can assist in lessening post-delivery conditions and further reducing the risk of possible complications, weakened bellies, loose skin, and pain.
Abdominal massage - A unique form of massage that assists in relaxing tense muscles, eliminating trapped toxins, and helps to restore abdominal strength.
Medicinal teas - Herbal remedies can be made into delicious teas that will assist in tonifying and calming new mums. Safe to use during breast feeding.
Emotional Support - At this time it is essential to feel understood and supported. An experienced and compassionate person who can listen to your feelings and worries, can be an enormous relief. The arrival of a new baby is a wonderful and exciting time, but it can sometimes be a very challenging one for new parents. This, coupled with sleepless nights, exhaustion and a huge change in role, can leave you feeling emotional and teary.
