Benvenuto, Internet travelers! I am a Malishwali residing in New Jersey. Postnatal Massage was in actual fact done by Asian-Indian females, usually a town person of advanced age. Postnatal Massage Therapy techniques were transmitted orally by Great-Aunts and such, and the benefits of Postpartum Massage Therapy were well-known for ages. These interesting guides were aware of herbology. The new Mom was aided in getting back to baseline, and this healer is called a Malish Wali, or "Massage Guardian." The newborn and Mom both receive a massage. The traditions go back thousands of years, but some say Hindu culture predates the date historians agree upon as the beginning of life as we know it. I am known as Advika, which means world.
