Original was uploaded on 2024-04-14

Many women experience breast engorgement in the first few weeks after giving birth. Breast engorgement that is somewhat severe. It is characterized by full, tense, heated, and tender breasts that are painfully throbbing and aching.

One of the treatments is “Gua Sha Therapy”, which is a therapeutic treatment method using several tools by “scratching” or applying pressure to the surface of the skin with the aim of improving blood circulation.

The tool used uses lotion/baby oil, a hair comb or something else, making sure the tool is blunt or not sharp and a little soft. Warm water and a washcloth to compress and rinse. Next, you or your partner can do the steps as in this video.

NOTICE! Gua Sha therapy should not be performed on mothers who:
1. Medical conditions that affect the skin or blood vessels that bleed easily
2. Currently taking blood thinning medication
3. Vein Thrombosis
4. Have an infection, tumor, or wound that has not healed in the breast
5. Having an implant in the chest area such as a heart pacemaker
