Ciao, people I am a Malish Wali living in NJ.
Postnatal Massage Therapy was in fact done by Indian women, usually
a family elder. Postnatal Massage by M...On Site
Massage Therapy Massage techniques are
transmitted orally by Mothers to Daughters and such, and the benefits of
Postpartum Massage were well-known for too long to remember.
These wise helpers were aware of herbal preparations.
The
mother was helped in getting back to great health, and this healer is referred to as
a Malishwali, or "Massage Guardian." The baby and Mom both receive
a massage.
The practices date back
ages, but really Indian civilization predates the time scientists
agree upon as the beginning of life that would be
recognizable to a modern person. I am known as Binita, which means modest.
