2.Is
bathing fine during confinement period?
The practice of
bathing is well documented in ancient Chinese medical annals in certain
provinces of China, which have a hot climate similar
to Singapore. New mothers are advised by hospitals to keep
themselves clean and fresh. Mothers could take a bath using warm water
instead of a cold shower. New mothers could use boiled water with lemon
grass and other alternatives stated in “The Only Confinement Food
Recipes You Need”.
A mother need not forgo her bath for the sake of following traditional
practice as these are common traditional practices among the Chinese
and are not much different from modern practices. - Amy
It
is no old wives' tale.Confinement practices are very important in
Chinese tradition,but they are also rooted in TCM literature.
After giving birth,the mother's body is very weak and her blood is
poor.Her pores are also open.
As such,if she comes into contact with wind or water,the cold enters
her system easily and her whole body will be sore.In serious cases,this
feeling can last 10 to 20 years after delivery.
It is not to say that you cannot clean yourself.You can wipe yourself
down with a warm towel.
It could be something that affects the Chinese more.The confinement
period usually lasts a month. -
Professors Yu Xue Ru and Tian Xiu Ying,TCM physicians

may plague a new mother later in her life. - Amy
