Rest, Rebuild, Balance: Your TCM Guide to Post-Partum Healing
The weeks and months after giving birth, known as the fourth trimester are a time of incredible change. Yet for many women, postpartum care is overlooked, and the focus quickly shifts to the baby. But in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this stage is one of the most vital for a mother’s recovery and long-term wellbeing.
In Chinese culture, the first 40 days after birth are known as Zuo Yue Zi, or “sitting the month.” It’s a time of rest, warmth, nourishing food, and full support. This tradition honours the body’s need to replenish Qi, Blood, and Jing after childbirth. Without proper care, many women experience fatigue, anxiety, low milk supply, pain, or emotional overwhelm well beyond the early weeks.
This blog explores how TCM views common postpartum imbalances and offers supportive strategies using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle care.
Whether you’re a few weeks in or several months along, your wellbeing still matters. Let this be your permission to slow down, ask for support, and choose nourishment over pressure.
