 | Hennaing a woman after she gives birth was a traditional way to deter what were believed to be malevolent spirits that cause disease, depression, and poor bonding with her infant. The action of applying henna to a mother after childbirth, particularly to her feet, keeps her from getting up to resume housework. A woman who has henna paste on her feet must let a friend or relative help her care for older children, tend the baby, cook, and clean. This allows her to regain her strength and bond with her new baby. She is also comforted by having friends who care about her well-being, and is helped to feel pretty again. The countries that have these henna traditions have very low rates of postpartum depression. Read more:http://www.hennapage.com/henna/what/freebooks/HPJpp2.pdf |
