Hi, Internet travelers! I am a Malish Wali staying in New Jersey. Postpartum Massage is in actual fact done by Indian females, usually a town elder. Postnatal Massage techniques were taught by Mothers to Daughters and such, and the benefits of Postnatal Massage Therapy were well-known for eons. These sage helpers knew about herbology. The new Mom was helped in getting back to baseline, and this healer is called a Malishwali, or "Massage Guardian." The baby and mother both get a massage. The traditions go back millenia, but there is evidence Hindu civilization goes back even before the era historians accept as the inception of life as we know it. I go by the name of Chakrika, which means Lakshmi.
