We are bringing Southeast Asia to you.
Bengkung wrapping is a revered postpartum practice originating from Malaysia, Southeast Asia. This ancient technique involves wrapping a long piece of cloth around the abdomen, providing support to the muscles and aiding in recovery after childbirth. Rooted in the cultural traditions of the Malay community, Bengkung wrapping has been a cherished method passed down through generations, known for its holistic benefits to both body and mind.
This natural method is distinct from modern girdles or corsets, offering a gentle, supportive approach that aligns with the body’s healing process. Bengkung wrapping helps new mothers with physical recovery, emotional comfort, and a sense of security during the postpartum period.
