Holistic Medicine tells us binding is vital for the closing of the mind, body and spirit after a woman gives birth. The tradition of belly binding originated in Malaysia, but can also be found around the world in various forms.

What is Bengkung Belly Binding?

Bengkung is a traditional Malaysian belly binding method. Essentially, it is the practice of tying a long strip of cloth around the abdomen during the postpartum recovery period to ensure strong support to the womb after childbirth.
