In China, after giving birth, women often choose to stay at home for confinement, because postpartum consumes a lot of energy. However, this phenomenon of confinement is very common in China, but it is relatively rare abroad. So, why don't foreigners have confinement?

Western medicine

Western medicine pays more attention to quick cure, and in many cases it may only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Therefore, foreigners do not pay much attention to the internal adjustment of the body during postpartum recovery, and will not choose confinement to fully restore the internal function of the body like China people.

Traditional medicine in China

Traditional Chinese medicine in China attaches great importance to health preservation. Postpartum confinement is precisely to restore the body and energy of pregnant women who consume a lot of nutrition. Therefore, confinement has become a traditional custom in China.

Diet and physique

The reason why foreigners don't have confinement is not because their diet and physique are better than those of China people. In fact, any woman will become weak after giving birth and consume a lot of energy, so she needs confinement to recover.
