​Belly binding, practised in many places for centuries, is a very special ritual. Wrapping the lower abdomen in a long cloth supports and warms you. It also helps to give a sense of security to the abdominal area, which can sometimes feel empty after giving birth.

During the ritual, I massage your belly, treat it with a herbal healing clay paste and then wrap it in a 17-meter-long cloth using the Malaysian Beng Kung method.

If you would like to repeat the wrapping yourself after my visit, I will be happy to show you a simple wrapping technique from the Ayurvedic tradition.
