Frequently Asked Questions
Prenatal
When can I start my prenatal session
Prenatal session normally starts from the 12th week of pregnancy onwards. At this stage you will probably feel muscles tensions and aches due to the change of your body center of gravity as your baby grows. At this point the massage will focus on reducing the aches and pain. After the 24th weeks onwards the focus is on preparing the Mother and baby for childbirth.

What type of herbs do you used for your massage
We used only traditional/ natural herbs. However you may have sensitive skins. If rashes or other reactions appear please inform your therapist. We may find substitute materials or may not use that herb/oil
What type of belly wrap do you use? Do I have to pay for the belly wrap.
We provide on a complimentary basis the use of the traditional long cloth belly wrap. However if you choose to opt for other types of belly wrap you may have to purchase it yourself.
What is Gurita?
Gurita is a soft cotton cloth that we put around your abdomen before using the belly wrap. This is to prevent itchiness . Thus allowing you to use your belly wrap for longer periods.
What is the purpose of using belly wrap
Belly wrap helps to heal, firm up and strengthen your abdominal muscles. Together with proper diet it also helps to reduce excess water and fat around the abdomen ( together withbthe use of tarpel)
How long should I use the belly wrap and what is the duration per day.
You should try and use the belly wrap for 6-8 hours per day. As for the number of days it depends on each individual. It may varies between 10 to 30 days
What is Tarpel, Param and Pilid
The 3 items has been used for centuries in this region to treat women after childbirth. It is a combination of materials/ herb for different purposes.
Tarpel – is applied around the abdomen before using the belly wrap. It’s benefits include reducing stretch mark and improving skin texture, expelling ‘wind’, burning fat around and tightening/ strengthening of the abdominal muscles
Param – is applied throughout the body except in the breast and abdomen area. It’s benefits include improving blood circulation, reduce swelling, prevent entry of ‘wind’ and improving skin texture
Pilid – is applied on the forehead. It’s benefits include preventing and reducing headaches and blurred vision which often affect women after childbirth
Should I use the powder or cream type of tarpel, param or pilis
Both are equally effective and used the same ingredients. The disadvantage of the modern powder form is that it tends to leave a mark on your skin, in particular the forehead. It is also quite messy when it dries up.
The cream form is equally effective . It does not ave any marks on your skin and your can use it more than once a day especially for the pilis
