been displaced during pregnancy and after childbirth, if they have cold
waist, ovaries or womb, in the fall of ovaries or womb, to facilitate

one of the techniques used.

great influence that transcends the family and the community, leaning
on resources such as Temazcal bath, medicinal plants, the dog-eared
and mantled.

traditions and uses a combination of knowledge of alternative
medicine, modern medicine and all the knowledge she has inherited
from her ancestors.

relax muscles, the pregnant women lie on the floor on a blanket and
held between two people lifted up, shaking the woman and then firmly
roll from side to side to accommodate the fetus so that it will fit into the
pelvic girdle to facilitate delivery during childbirth.

AND WOMB AFTER

on the blanket, two people

WOMB
TO
ACCOMMODATE

Popular name for various diseases of women, manifested by a shift of
the uterus backward, forward, or by a drop of the internal genital
organs.

making heavy work, not fajarse and / or having sex during this time,

To accommodate the womb using a shawl, the midwife passes it under
the body from the waist to the hips, then the midwife stands with her
feet close to the hip lifting the blanket and taking it by the ends pulls
two or three times from each of the sides. This operation made firmly

her to waist height and shakes four times, pulling her legs in the
direction of her own arms gently lowering it, bandage the belly and let
her rest.

absorb the energies from
adults, anger, sadness, fear,
worries, etc.., causing

bodies.

manteada the child is
cleaned, with plants such as
lavender, catnip, rosemary,
ruda, etc., making a bouquet

the little body, always starting
from the head to the feet, this
will make the energy that
doesn’t belong to the child or

absorbed by the mentioned
plants and the baby will be
relieved. Then the child is
placed on a blanket and
rolled gently, to move all his
joints loosening and
removing the stress, then
wrap the child in a white
sheet and let him sweat,
finally change the sheet. With
this treatment the child will
calm down and sleep soundly.
