Why Postpartum Confinement Matters in Chinese Medicine
In TCM, postpartum is often seen as a period of “大虛大開” (dà xū dà kāi), meaning “great empty space and great openness” for the mom’s body. This is why traditionally, the mother takes on 30 days (or one month) of “坐月” (zuò yuè) meaning “sitting the month”, a sacred window of time to heal, replenish, and reset her health - for the rest of her life. This is how important this period of recovery is.
