Postpartum Treatment
Is Postpartum Therapy Essential?
Women went through massive physical and physiological changes during the pregnancy and birthing process. The common problems due to hormonal changes during and after pregnancy, and blood loss during the birthing process can be addressed through natural herbal and remedies to return the body to a balanced hormonal state and healthy blood levels. A holistic therapeutic approach also improves new mums’ energy levels effectively and in turn boost the production of high quality and quantity breast milk, and support hair growth for those with thinning issues.
The Golden Month of Postpartum
Women perspire more due to the pores opening up post birth, thus cold air or wind easily enters into the body which potentially causes migraines and arthritis aches long after the birth. In addition, while the digestive system is taking its time to recover during postpartum, indulging in raw, icy or cooling food stresses the body, interferes with the digestive system’s recovery, which can show up in symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pains. As a general rule, we advised women who had just given birth to avoid cool air whenever possible and keeping the neck and torso warm when out and about. As for postpartum meals, eating easily
digestible, warm cooked food and drinking lukewarm water or drinks puts the body back on track quickly. The Golden Month of postpartum is between 4 to 6 weeks after birth.
