4. Bengkung Belly Binding.

For physical and emotional postpartum recovery.

You have carried your baby in your belly for up to 9 months, it can feel empty once your baby is born. Bengkung belly binding is an ancient Malay technique that helps women recover physically and emotionally after pregnancy and childbirth.

I treat you as a newly delivered woman by wrapping and tying a long piece of cotton fabric (10-17 meters) around your belly. I also teach you how to do it yourself.
The belly wrap can be worn for up to 24 hours during the first 2 weeks after giving birth worn. After that, 6-10 hours is sufficient. The belly bind can be worn for up to about 4 months after giving birth . If you want to continue wearing the belly bind after 4 months, it is a good idea to do pelvic floor and gentle abdominal exercises.


A Bengkung belly wrap offers you 360˚ support. Your abdominal muscles close more easily (diastase). Your posture improves, your ligaments stabilize and your entire torso is supported. All vital organs (including the uterus) find their way back to the size and place they were before pregnancy.

What does the treatment look like?

  • Warming treatment with moxa

  • Then a healing abdominal massage with warm castor oil in bed

  • Castor oil belly pack

  • A gentle foot massage during the belly wrap

  • Bengkung belly wrap

  • Warming tea

The treatment takes about 2 hours.

Costs: Euro 200,- including VAT.
