Greetings, Internet travelers! I am a Malish Wali residing in NJ.
Postpartum Massage was in actual fact done by Indian ladies,
nearly always a social group person of advanced age.
Postpartum Massage techniques are transmitted orally by Great-Aunts
and such, and the benefits of Postpartum in-home post natal massage Therapy were well-known for aeons.
These sage guides knew about herbal treatments.
The mother was aided in getting back to normal, and this massage practitioner
is called a Malishwali, or "Massage Guardian." The baby and
mother both receive a massage.
The traditions date back thousands
of years, but some say Hindu culture predates the era researchers accept as the inception of life as we know it. I am known as Darika, which means maiden.
