What is TCM confinement?
28-day confinement herbal care and bath
Confinement herbal care and bath remedies are designed to meet the unique healing needs of new mothers. They are suitable for natural delivery and caesarean section, support breastfeeding, as well as nourishing the blood to help you regain your overall vitality.
For your convenience, our TCM physician has prescribed 28 days of pre-portioned herbal medication to address the three essential stages of post-birth recovery.
- Stage 1 (up to 6 days after birth):
- The body is still vulnerable, with significant hormonal, physical, and emotional changes taking place.
- Herbal care focuses on uterine recovery and supporting these transitions, helping the body to stabilise, regulate, and begin to heal.
- Stage 2 (7 to 21 days after birth):
- The body resumes normal metabolism and transitions from "warm" to "cold".
- Improving digestive function and warming the body through the use of confinement herbs can help prevent the invasion of "wind-dampness" that could aggravate pain and water retention.
- Stage 3 (22 to 28 days after birth):
- The objective of this final stage is to promote overall wellness, which is essential for sustaining good health and ensuring your body is well prepared for subsequent pregnancies.

28-day confinement herbal soups
To complement the confinement herbal care and bath, mothers can also add confinement herbal soups.
These soups are specially formulated by our TCM physicians using 10 unique herbal recipes to support each stage of your postbirth recovery. They nourish and warm the body, replenish Qi and Blood, and restore strength from within.
Each soup is clearly labelled with a list of ingredients and simple cooking instructions. Your confinement nanny or a family member can easily follow the steps, add your preferred protein and serve a nourishing soup that supports recovery.
Some soups contain apple and pear slices, which give them a clean, refreshing taste and make them distinctly milder than traditional herbal soups.
28-day confinement herbal tea
To complement the herbal soups, herbal tea offers a light, nourishing ritual you can enjoy any time of day.
Pre-packed for easy brewing and designed to pair seamlessly with each meal, our 28-Day Confinement Herbal Tea is a gentle daily blend created for new mothers, combining high-quality tonic herbs with calming floral notes.
It is designed to hydrate and support recovery, without the excess "heaty" effects that some teas can cause postpartum. The tea also includes rose buds and longan to gently calm the mind and uplift the spirit.
Post-confinement care
Although the traditional 28-day confinement period marks the beginning of post-birth recovery, real healing can take longer.
As you transition back to your daily routine, you may experience:
- Persistent fatigue
- Poor sleep quality
- Digestive discomfort or bloating
- Low milk supply
- Emotional ups and downs
At Thomson Chinese Medicine, we believe that continued care is important. That's why our Post-Confinement TCM Care Bundle is designed to gently support your body and mind during the next stage of your recovery.
Our treatments work to:
- Restore internal balance
- Replenish energy and vitality
- Support emotional well-being
- Enhance lactation and digestion
Each in-clinic session is tailored to your unique needs, so you can feel replenished and confident as you embark on your parenting journey.
