Indigenous Knowledge of
INDIGENOUS POSTPARTUM MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH CARE RITES IMPROVES HEALTH OF MOTHER AND CHILD (NIGERIA).
One interesting case I have found from the website (
http://www.kivu.com/wbbook/casestudies.html) was the health care of the mother and child after giving birth. During the four months after the mother has given birth, the child as well as the mother will be taken care of by the grandmother of the baby.
This allows the mother to gain back her strength and spent quality time with her new born baby. The mother will also go through a diet which includes hot soups with dried fish meat, yams, and a special herbal seasoning called udah. The diet will restore the mothers blood loss during the birth of the baby and improve her health.
