Modern Childbirth Recovery and Postpartum Wellness Inspired by Zuo Yue Zi and TCM
Although we rely on our mothers to give birth to maintain and grow our population, there is still no standardized postpartum care or childbirth recovery program for them. This gap is currently met by independent businesses and cultural practices, such as Zuo Yue Zi, the Chinese postpartum confinement practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine.
