Hi, people I am a Malishwali living in NJ. Postnatal Massage was in actual fact performed by Indian females, customarily a town elder.
Postpartum Massage techniques were taught by Mothers to Daughters and the
like, and the benefits of Postpartum Massage Therapy were well-known for
aeons. These interesting helpers were aware of
herbal preparations. The person who just gave birth
was helped in getting back to baseline, and this healer was known as a
Maliswali, or "Massage Guardian." The newborn and Mom both
get a massage. The practices date back ages, but some say Hindu culture predates
the time historians accept as the inception of life as
we know it. I am known as Bhavna, which means purity.
