The basis of “Daifonai” treatment

This direct contact also helps to open up the pores, enabling the medicine to penetrate deeper into the skin and improve blood circulation. 

The treatment
The treatment is easy, effective and safe from side-effects. It can be used by anybody regardless of age and sex. 

Why Do women in confinement (the period of a month or so after childbirth) need to bathe with “daifonai”
The period immediately after childbirth, ‘confinement’ is critical to a women’s health. This is because pregnancy and delivery cause a great strain to a women’s physique as well as her energy level, or as the Chinese medicinal practice puts it, on her ‘chi’ or inner energy. 

If not replenished, the lack of ‘chi’ or inner energy can cause low immunity to disease. The ‘cold air/chillness’ can easily enter the body and cause ailments such as headache and pain around pelvic area and joints. 

Doing the laundry, washing the dishes or taking cold showers exposes the women to the ‘chillness’ which can cause the body temperature to drop and the blood vessels to contract leading to pain in the joints or rheumatism. 

Bathing with ‘Daifonai’ can and will prevent this from happening because the medicine penetrates deeper into the skin which improves blood circulation and the overall health of the new mothers during ‘confinement’. In addition, ‘daifonai’ also improves the skin complexion. 

Bathing with ‘Daifonai’ for 30-45 days after childbirth prevents ‘chillness/cold air’ entering the body therefore prevents the occurrence of rheumatism in later age. 

Research has shown that women especially older women, suffer from rheumatism more than men. This is due to doing washing and household chores during confinement which cause the ‘chillness’ to enter their system. Bathing with ‘Daifonai’ will protect new- mothers from developing joint point or rheumatism later in life.
