Birth of a child is actually a gift bestowed by God as it could bring blessings and sustenance to the family. They view newborn babies as something pure and significant which is why in their religion, mothers are put on such a high pedestal. That is also how they came up with the traditional confinement practice that is known as pantang in order to help these amazing women restore their energy and spark again. This is a form of point massage using heated objects, known as tungku. There are two types of tungku; one is an iron tungku while another is a stone tungku. They vary in size and height depending on the mother’s size. The tungku is heated and wrapped with cloth together with a noni leaf, and is then gently rolled over the belly. This practice helps with shrinking the uterus back to its original shape, improving blood flow and reducing body numbness.
