Mother Warming, traditional healing practice utilizing Moxibustion, is a wonderful way to support new mothers in their postpartum recovery. Moxibustion involves the burning of mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) near specific acupuncture points to help stimulate circulation, warm the body, and promote overall healing. It is particularly beneficial after childbirth, as it helps to tonify and invigorate the body's energy, reduce coldness, and support the recovery of the uterus and internal organs.During the session, Moxibustion is applied for up to 10 minutes. This gentle treatment is often combined with a soothing abdominal massage, which enhances relaxation and provides additional benefits for digestion and circulation. The warming sensation not only feels comforting but also helps to bring balance and nourishment to the body after the strain of childbirth.Benefits of Mother Warming with Moxibustion:Promotes Healing: Supports uterine recovery and helps the body return to its pre-pregnancy state.Increases Circulation: Enhances blood flow to the abdominal area, aiding in the removal of toxins.Reduces Coldness and Stagnation: Helps eliminate coldness in the body that may occur postpartum.Relieves Tension: The abdominal massage combined with Moxibustion can help ease muscle tension and promote relaxation.Balances Hormones: Supports overall hormonal balance after childbirth, helping the body adjust to post-pregnancy changes.I offer Mother Warming with Moxibustion in the comfort of your home, with a focus on creating a peaceful, healing environment for new mothers. The session lasts a maximum of 10 minutes and is combined with a gentle abdominal massage to further support your postpartum healing.The cost of this personalized treatment is 45 €, and it is available as a home visit following childbirth.Feel free to contact me if you're interested in booking a session or would like more information!

🌸 Postnatal recovery takes time & patience! 🌼

Many of you may have heard of (Bengkung) Belly Binding or abdominal belts and are considering whether it should be part of your postnatal recovery. While belly binding is valued as a supportive tradition in many cultures, it's important to understand its limits.

🌸 Belly binding can offer soothing support by providing a sense of security and gently supporting the recovery process. However, it is not a cure-all. The body needs time to recover.

💖 Rest and nutrition are important for healthy recovery. Especially protein- and fiber-rich foods have a positive effect.

💪 Gentle movement and targeted postnatal exercises play a crucial role. An abdominal belt can provide temporary support, but strengthening the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles is essential. Start with light postpartum exercises as soon as you feel ready.

🕒 Moderate use of the abdominal belt is recommended. Constant wearing can weaken the muscles, as they are less challenged. Use the belt for a few hours at a time to help your body adjust without bypassing the important work of the muscles.

🌿 Recovery is individual. Every body is unique. Therefore, do not compare yourselves, as recovery depends on so many factors, such as age, mode of delivery, tissue, size of the child...

Scars, whether from a cesarean section or minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopy, are often underestimated. While minimally invasive techniques are considered to be gentle, they still leave tunnel-like scars that have both visible and invisible effects.

Scars can also cause physical complaints that are not directly associated with the scar itself. These can include headaches, states of exhaustion, digestive problems, diffuse complaints in the abdominal-pelvic area, or restrictions in movement. The appearance of scars is another aspect that plays a significant role for many women. For example, after a cesarean section, a so-called 'hangover' over the scar can often develop – a roll of skin that can arise from the adhesion of the upper skin layers and is found bothersome by many women. However, other cosmetic issues such as discoloration, thickening, or indentations can also affect self-image and quality of life.

For all these problems, there are treatment options, as explained in the article. Modern scar treatment offers a wide range of possibilities, from special massage or manual techniques, acupuncture, to procedures like laser therapy or injections, all intended to improve the appearance of the scar and alleviate complaints.

You are invited to schedule an appointment to have your scar examined and treated. I can visit you at your home, or you can come to my treatment room in Kissonerga. Please reach out to arrange a time that suits you.
