IMG_0542.jpg

After a natural birth, my wife recover very fast. The milk supply is great, the feeling is great, and now it is the time to clear some wind in the stomach. Jenny has known Boon for many years, and she also came to our house 10 days last time after Jay was born.

So, this time, Jenny came and do the post massage for Boon. And It is the first time I learned that she uses Jamu (a Javanese herbal remedies) to massage and then wrapped the stomach for the night. It started on the eight day, and lasted for 7-10 days.

The unique herbal remedies from Indonesia, which evidently potent to cure anything for many centuries.

Javanese calls Jamu for herbal remedies, without chemist material as additive. Jamu has traditional connotation, because Jamu is ancient tradition, before modern pharmacology comes in Indonesia. Some formulas have a hundred years old and are used until now.
