3 Stages of Recovery

  • Stage 1: Release & Repair (清,催)

    The first days after birth are about gentle recovery. This stage focuses on clearing lochia, supporting uterine repair and encouraging milk flow. Warmth and nourishment help your body begin its path back to balance.

  • Stage 2: Regulate & Rebalance (调)

    As your body stabilises, the focus shifts to harmonising digestion and improving nutrient absorption. This stage helps replenish Qi and blood while restoring steady energy through balanced nourishment.

  • Stage 3: Rebuild & Revitalise (补,养)

    The final stage consolidates vitality for the long term. By nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving circulation and building reserves, this phase supports deeper renewal and lasting recovery.

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.

Childbirth is a powerful event that leaves the body open, depleted, and vulnerable, but also uniquely receptive to nourishment and restoration. The way a mother cares for herself in these first 30 days is believed to shape not only her recovery now, but her wellbeing for years to come.
