To prepare the most nourishing confinement meals for mothers, we embrace the TCM principle of “一排二清三调四补”. This translates into:
Week 1 – The phase of detoxification to eliminate lochia from the body.
Week 2 – The phase of nourishing without causing stagnation. This is when mothers consume light and easily digestible food or herbs that nourish the body and reduce digestive burden, while promoting circulation and preventing stagnation.
Week 3 – The adjustment phase, where we promote regulation of the endocrine to enhance the body’s recovery.
Week 4 – The restoration phase. The focus here is to consume nourishing and nutritious food and tonics to aid the mother’s recovery, and promote milk production.
