Hi, Internet travelers!
I am a Maliswali living in New Jersey.
Postpartum Massage was in actual fact done by Asian-Indian women, nearly always a village person of advanced age.
Postpartum in-home postnatal massage Therapy techniques were transmitted orally by
Grandmothers and the like, and the benefits of Postpartum
Massage were well-known for too long to remember.
These interesting healers knew about herbal treatments.
The new Mom was assisted in getting back to normal, and this healer was referred to as a Malish Wali, or
"Massage Guardian." The baby and mother both receive a massage.
The traditions go back millenia, but in fact Hindu civilization goes back even before the era historians accept as the beginning of life that
would be recognizable to a modern person. I go by the name of Ela, which means oak.
