Yu-Fai is a traditional Thai post-childbirth care that helps mums recover from giving birth. The female body goes through a lot of stress during pregnancy and childbirth. Yu-Fai treatment serves as a way for your body and mind to relax after all that hard work.
What is the difference between mums who had a natural birth vs C-section?
I strongly support natural birth. From my experience working with after-birth treatments, mothers who choose natural birth produce more milk for the baby and recover faster. They can start Yu-Fai 7 days after giving birth or as soon as the wound is healed, with the mentioned using extra charcoal processed. C-section mums must wait 30 days after giving birth to start their Yu-fai as it takes longer for their bodies to heal.
The duration
Yu-Fai experts will evaluate your health and design a suitable time period for your treatment. The process usually takes at least 5 days.
Caution
Mums who have experienced pre-eclampsia or have high blood pressure are not advised to do Yu-Fai or should receive the treatment under their doctor’s supervision.
What are the benefits?
Most mums usually feel the difference as soon as they have the treatment. The stomach, bottom, back, and hip become smaller and the swellings reduce. Yu-fai helps adjust the hormone balance which helps relieve mood swings and baby blues. The treatment relaxes both the body and mind and provides an opportunity for new mums to have someone to share their worries with. A Yu-Fai expert can help educate new mums on how to take care of themselves, their newborn, and stress relief techniques.
