Sitting on charcoal
Are there any mothers who have these symptoms or problems after giving birth? For example:
- Incomplete discharge of lochia
- Episiotomy wound not drying
- Uterus not returning to its original position
Mothers should stay on fire for 7 days after natural birth and 30-45 days after cesarean section or sterilization.
Procedure
Charcoal sitting for postpartum mothers is a procedure to fumigate the vagina and perineal wounds by sprinkling herbal powder on burning charcoal in a chamber and placing it under a seat with a hole in the center. The heat and herbal smoke will rise up and touch the perineal wound.
Properties
Sitting on charcoal helps relieve inflammation, makes the wound dry and not moist, makes the uterus contract well, expels lochia, and helps the uterus return to its original position faster.
