2. A hot wrap increases blood flow, therefore it is contraindicated for nursing women. Warming procedures for the abdomen after childbirth are not recommended, as well as for other parts of the body.
3. Beware of allergies! Changed hormonal background may react unexpectedly to honey, essential oils and other possible components. It is advisable to make a test first.
