Gutentag, Internet travelers! I am a Maliswali residing in New Jersey. Postpartum Massage Therapy is actaully done by South-Asian-Indian ladies, usually a village person of advanced age. Postnatal Massage techniques were transmitted orally by Mothers to Daughters and the like, and the benefits of Postnatal Massage Therapy were well-known for aeons. These interesting helpers knew about herbs. The mother was assisted in getting back to baseline, and this massage practitioner is called a Maliswali, or “Massage Guardian.” The baby and mother both receive a massage. The traditions date back millenia, but really Hindu civilization predates the time researchers accept as the beginning of life as we know it. I go by the name of Aadhya, which means first power.
