Postpartum Massage: Interview On Ayurvedic Abhyanga
It was a pleasure to be recently interviewed about Ayurvedic postpartum massage by one of my former mentorees at The Center Of Sacred Window Studies, Nena Complo.
It is my wish that this interview will both inspire mothers to seek out Ayurvedic postpartum massage, as well as inspire practitioners to learn this most valuable tool in postpartum care.
Join me in healing our mothers and families together!
I have a question about abhyangas during pregnancy. Do you recommend them in the second trimester? I know third trimester seems to be ok. Do you have a reference in Ayurvedic texts where it says no to abhyangas during pregnancy. Thanks
Yes, gentle Abhyanga is good during second trimester. 4th month you need to be extra gentle, especially around your belly.
I love your site and your work! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your business as well. Supporting postpartum care by providing a registry service is wonderful.
