Bengkung ForMom

Bengkung belly binding is a cherished traditional practice primarily rooted in Malay culture, prevalent in both Malaysia and Indonesia. This time-honored technique involves enveloping the postpartum abdomen with a long, wide cotton cloth, tightly wrapped from the hips upwards. By providing even compression and support, Bengkung belly binding aims to offer postpartum women a multitude of benefits, including support, healing, and enhanced recovery.

Through this tailored approach, we aim to promote healing and rejuvenation, ensuring your postpartum well-being is nurtured and restored.

Jamu ForMom

Jamu (or Djamu) is a traditional herbal practice originating from Indonesia. It is made from natural herbal ingredients and paired with a full-body massage to support women's recovery after childbirth.

The treatment begins with a full-body massage using herbal oil, followed by the application of warm jamu paste on the abdominal area, and completed with traditional tummy binding. This therapy helps to ease physical discomfort, reduce swelling, and support the recovery of the abdominal area. The binding process also helps the body feel more supported, while promoting circulation and the gentle release of trapped wind.

A complete treatment includes a rejuvenating Javanese massage, a soothing herbal wrap, and the traditional Selendang tummy binding technique. With consistent sessions, many mothers experience improvements in body tone, posture, and overall recovery. This treatment supports the body in returning to balance after childbirth, including:

• – Supporting abdominal toning
• – Encouraging natural repositioning of the body
• – Promoting lymphatic drainage
• – Improving the appearance of stretch marks
• – Helping to redefine the waistline
• – Supporting posture and easing back discomfort

It also helps to relieve trapped wind in the body, which is commonly experienced during the postpartum period. This treatment is especially suitable for mothers in their postnatal recovery journey.
