TCM believes that pregnant women's Qi and blood are depleted during birth, weakening the body system, and yet they must still breastfeed the baby, resulting in mental and physical exhaustion, easily burnout, restlessness, and frustration.
Major blood loss, injury to the "Chong" and "Ren" channels, and a deficiency in blood and body fluids occur during childbirth. Furthermore, blood stagnation caused by childbirth, internal blockages, and Qi and blood flow dysfunction can lead to a variety of illnesses later on. Furthermore, weakness in body constituents caused by childbirth, if not managed properly in terms of food and rest, can easily invite viral attacks, leading to a variety of postnatal illnesses.
The condition of pregnant women will be studied and identified in TCM postnatal therapy. Through a combination of Tui Na massage, herbal medicine, and lifestyle management, the Qi and blood deficiencies, as well as Yin and Yang imbalances, are addressed and properly managed. This will help pregnant women get on the road to recovery as soon as possible, both physically and emotionally.
TCM Post Natal Massage targets the entire body, including pushing the uterus up, removing water retention, and reducing wind. The therapist also works on the meridian lines and acupoints to improve treatment by improving energy flow and speeding up recovery. Wrapping is done with herbs.
How can TCM Post-Natal Care help with Lack of Milk / Breastfeeding issues
In TCM, there are 2 causes for the low level of breast milk, one is due to low Qi level in the liver function, resulting in the production of breast milk being obstructed, unable to flow smoothly.
The second reason is a lack of Qi and blood, as well as a lack of breast milk. A good massage will also help to smooth the flow of breast milk and improve the secretion of breast milk, reviving Qi and blood circulation in the breast.
Our Qi-boosting therapeutic massage stimulates acupressure points along Meridian channels, clearing blockage and correcting Yin and Yang imbalance. Tuina techniques improve Qi and blood circulation, bring hormones back to pre-pregnancy levels, reduce lochia, and help the uterus contracts and the body to slim down.
