Post delivery care is one of the most important periods in a woman's health cycle. Your body's pre-pregnancy symptoms of high/low blood pressure, anemia, asthma, being easily fatigued, waist/ back pains to changes to your body shape such as tummy protrusion or period cramps are all areas to look for improvement from correct post delivery care.

There is a saying that a baby's birth is also the re-birth of the mother's body, and this statement is very correct! As long as you take the proper lifestyle adjustments and food intake guidelines, in essence, the more children you have the more radiant you will be!

「In Chinese tradition, after a woman gives birth, she experiences one month of post delivery care and nourishment. During this period, certain lifestyle adjustments are made, such as not touching cold water, not taking showers, washing hair, or drinking water for an entire month! However more importantly, proper nourishment must be taken into consideration for the recovery of the woman's uterus, expulsion of discharge, keeping slim and prevention from aging. A concept understood and accepted in Chinese communities, literally translated of “doing the month”, or post delivery care has been a long time tradition that has developed close associations with Chinese medicinal herbal drinks and soups prepared by the mother-in-law.

In terms of food and nutrition, the post delivery mother is fatigued and weak from the birth process. Traditionally family members may scurry to cook up a wokful of nutritious sesame oil chicken, however we need to consider after birth, the post delivery mother's digestive system is not strong enough to digest nor to absorb all the rich nutrients that are in sesame oil chicken. This is why there is a “sequential phase menu” particularly suited for post delivery care mothers.

This concept stems from first expelling the body's excess blood and discharge, then slowly replenish your blood and energy, while at the same time not gaining too much weight and helping the uterus recover back to its original size.」

The “sequential phase menu” is especially designed to attain the best post delivery results and recovery. Dishes are prepared with three crucial ingredients: sesame oil, rice wine and aged ginger and absolutely no salt or artificial seasoning. Here are some key points:

Week 1 menu design: Focuses on expelling discharge and water levels in the body, also helping the uterus recover to its original size. This is also the ideal time to recover body weight. Here, our main dish include pig liver and traditional post partum drink.

Week 2 menu design: Centers on easing waist and back pains and preventing post partum waist and back pains via pig kidneys and Chinese medicinal broth with Eucommia Bark.

Week 3~4 menu design: Focuses on replenishing blood, “chi” or energy levels, prevention from aging and improving circulation. Here, our main dish is black sesame oil chicken and Chinese medicinal broths.
