Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Sea salt has been traditionally used in various cultures as part of postpartum care, particularly in the context of dietary recommendations and traditional healing practices. In some regions, sea salt is added to foods or used in baths with the belief that it can help restore strength, balance fluids, or aid in the recovery process after childbirth. However, there is minimal scientific research to directly support the use of sea salt specifically for treating or supporting postpartum weakness. The primary rationale in traditional medicine is that salt helps replenish electrolytes lost during childbirth and may stimulate appetite or digestion. Nevertheless, excessive salt intake can have adverse effects, such as increasing blood pressure, which is particularly concerning in postpartum women who may be at risk for conditions like preeclampsia. Overall, while the use of sea salt for postpartum weakness is rooted in tradition, the scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is extremely limited, and its use should be approached with caution and under medical guidance.
