Postpartum care • At the clinic and at home
Ounruean Clinic of Applied Thai Traditional Medicine offers traditional postpartum care. A practitioner takes your history and assesses suitability before planning individual care.
Choose care at our Taling Chan clinic or home visits in Bangkok, with the number and length of sessions suited to your circumstances.
What is postpartum Yu Fai care?
Yu Fai is a traditional Thai approach to care after childbirth. It may include postpartum massage, herbal compresses, heated salt-pot applications, herbal steam and traditional abdominal care.
We do not use one programme for everyone. Your history and recovery are assessed first, particularly after a caesarean birth or if you have unexpected symptoms. These traditional procedures do not guarantee recovery, increased milk supply or changes in body shape, and do not replace postnatal medical care.

The basic programme lists:
- Breast massage, where suitable after assessment
- Muscle-relaxation massage

These are programme listings, not confirmation that every procedure is suitable for you. Heat, herbs, breast and abdominal procedures require individual assessment. Ask which elements should be omitted or modified. Ask about suitability and current package prices.

At the clinic or at home?
| Consideration | At the clinic | At home |

| Travel | You travel to the clinic | The practitioner travels to you |

Consider your recovery, travel, available time and assessment before choosing a programme.
After vaginal or caesarean birth
Recovery varies, so suitability should not be decided only by the number of days since birth. After a caesarean, wound healing, pain, swelling, bleeding, fever and other concerns need attention before heat, massage or abdominal procedures.
Seek urgent medical care for fever of 38°C or higher, heavy bleeding, severe pain, chest pain or trouble breathing. Do not wait for a Yu Fai appointment. See CDC maternal warning signs.
Why do we assess you first?
The type of birth, time since delivery, wound healing, pain and existing health conditions all affect suitable care. Our applied Thai traditional medicine practitioners take a history, plan care and follow up as appropriate. Assessment may lead to modifying, postponing or declining a procedure or recommending medical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
How many days should I book?
There is no number that suits everyone. The clinic offers 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-day options, selected according to recovery, needs, availability and assessment.
Are home visits available?
Yes. The service area, dates and times must be arranged in advance.
Can I book after a caesarean?
Your recovery and wound need assessment first, especially before heat or abdominal procedures. Unexpected symptoms require medical review.
Do programmes include breast massage?
It is listed in GREEN, GOLD and DIAMOND, subject to suitability. It does not guarantee more milk. Avoid firm pressure on an inflamed breast. Persistent pain, redness or fever needs medical or breastfeeding-specialist advice. Read NHS mastitis guidance.
Should I book ahead?
Yes, particularly for several consecutive days or home visits, so we can arrange practitioner availability.
