“Postpartum Confinement Prescription” is customized for you

The three most important periods for women to condition their physique are “menstrual period, postpartum confinement period, and menopause.” In particular, “postpartum confinement period” accounts for the most critical period.

The maternal body will undergo drastic change in the physiological structure and circulation function in order to nurture the fetus as the gestation for babies. Women will become extremely weak in qi and blood after having undergone natural birth or C-section, and therefore they require 30~40 days of confinement period so the maternal body can recovery and restore the previous function. 

The lack of proper conditioning now will draw out the potential problems in your body and even lead to more discomfort in next pregnancy and future menopause.

Hence, we recommend you to follow the three steps of postpartum conditioning developed by the gynecology division of Chinese Medicine Department. Professional doctors of gynecology division from Chinese medicine department would customize a special confinement prescription for you which emphasizes on your discomfort and needs, and help you recover and even improve your physique effectively.
