What is Mother Roasting?

Mother Roasting is one of my favorite treatments after a woman gives birth. It is a treatment where the mother is warmed. Different cultures have been using this treatment for hundreds of years. It is believed that it helps to keep the cold out of the mother's vulnerable body after giving birth. I usually like to do a mother roasting treatment in my Boston Acupuncture clinic as soon as possible after my patient gives birth. The treatment helps to nourish the woman and to help her heal and feel rejuvenated.

There are different techniques that can be used in mother roasting. Some of those include hot salt bathes, using hot stones, or using moxa heat sticks. Being an acupuncturist, I use Moxa to warm the mother. My patient will lay on her stomach, back or side, whichever is the most comfortable for her. The moxa stick is then waved around her abdomen and low back for about 30 minutes. This heat enters the body and helps her to heal from the birthing process. All of my patients comment on how amazingly good it makes them feel. I have even had women come in who had never had acupuncture before. They had heard about the healing properties of mother roasting and wanted to experience for themselves. I highly recommend this treatment for any woman who has given birth.

The treatment is usually most effective the closer to giving birth as possible. Though I have done the treatment several months after someone has given birth. It can help with the healing process for C-Sections and also helps to strengthen the low back. It is said that some women can never regain their strength in their low back after giving birth. Having mother roasting done can help to counteract those low back deficiencies.

If you are interested in receiving a mother roasting treatment (or two) call William Wessel at 617-922-1881 to schedule your appointment. It also makes a great gift for someone who has just given birth. I've had many people buy a mother roasting treatment for someone they know. William's Boston Acupuncture clinic is located in the Back Bay of Boston and serves the South End, Newbury Street, Beacon Hill neighborhoods, as well as the city of Cambridge.
