What is Confinement?
In many Asian cultures, the month after childbirth is known as “confinement”, which comes from the Chinese phrase “zuò yuè zi”, meaning “sitting the month.” This is considered a sacred window of time where mothers are cared for with rest, warmth and deeply nourishing food to support their recovery and renewal. It is designed to:
- Replenish lost energy and blood
- Support digestion and lactation
- Gently restore the body’s balance
- Strengthen immunity
- Promote emotional and hormonal healing
