So you have had your baby and you're at home and in the routine of motherhood.

How exciting!!

So here is a beautiful, energising treat to get your partner to do: running Moxa above your skin from your belly button down to your pubis bone. Do this after a week has passed after the birth of your bub. If it's more than a week that's fine it's actually a great thing to do for your energy at any time you are feeling tired or stressed. Plus you can do it in your own home.

What to do: light the moxa up over a candle or a gas stove top, lay down so your comfy and get your beloved or best friend to gently move the moxa up and down the line running under your belly button to your pubis bone or underwear line for 5 to 10 minutes. This will feel divine and it helps lift and nurture your energy by building qi and blood plus gently warming your uterus. If you have a caesarean scar go over that as well, it's so good for the healing of tissues and muscles. Remember this when you are tired or emotional it really soothes you especially if someone else does this for you.

Remember the moxa will burn if it touches the skin so keep it about an inch away from the skin at all times.

Where to buy Moxa: All good acupuncturists will stock moxa so you can buy it from them.

Best, Tabitha
