Herbal “V” Steams are an ancient self-care therapy commonly practiced in Korea and Central + South America for centuries; handed down by midwives, traditional healers, and wise women to support women’s overall health by caring for the womb. The treatments are used to cleanse and revitalize the uterus, effectively reducing discomfort associated with menstruation, helping with fertility and relieving the discomforts of menopause. |
BENGKUNG BELLY BINDING
The traditional Malaysian art of wrapping a postpartum women's belly to provide physical support and assist the healing process after childbirth. This technique uses a long strip of cloth that is wrapped around the abdomen from the hips to the ribcage. For Best Results, a woman should be wrapped as soon as possible after birth. Ideally this would between 3-5 days postpartum. In the case of C-section, women should wait until the incision is healed, at least two weeks postpartum. The bind should be worn daily for 8-10 hours a day for 30 days or longer. Often women who use a belly bind after birth return to their own pre-pregnancy size in 6-8 weeks. |
