'Mother Roasting' - This is an ancient treatment practiced by many different cultures in slightly varied ways. Usually performed 2 weeks after the birth, 'Mother Roasting' is a process of warming the womb and the body to aid recovery.
'In Malaysia, the mother is given a massage a week or so after giving birth, with a special stone that is heated on the fire, wrapped in a cloth and placed on the abdomen. In South East Asia, new mothers are encouraged to sit next to the open fire. in Thailand, newly delivered women are sometimes placed in a special bed above a fire.'
Use of a Chinese Medicine technique called "Moxbustion", along with specific healing massage, warm oils and towels and warm wheat packs is a popular practise to aid recovery, restore energy and support the liver, kidney and digestive systems. This treatment is beautifully nourishing for the qi and blood in a new mothers body, which is so beneficial and needed.It is believed that it stimulates blood-flow in the pelvic area and uterus. It militates against cold and dampness in the body and can serve to turn breech babies.
This treatment is really the perfect gift if you want to give something nurturing and rejuvenating for a new mother.
