mother’s body to return to its normal pre-pregnancy state, boost the production of breast milk and maintain the
mother’s health. This ancient practice is beginning to change with the new generation of mothers, who consider
convenience above all else. The most common style of yu fai is with the female lying on a narrow stretcher or
wooden board. The mother must lay still so as not to roll off the stretcher. To the side, balefires or coal stoves
will be started, usually with specially selected fuel so as not to create too much or too poisonous smoke. An
alternative method is to place the fire under the stretcher. The mother will spend time in these conditions,
depending on local culture, and may not leave the heated room at any time for fear of sickness or disease, even
