Analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients in 20 species of traditional Malay midwifery postnatal bath

Midwifery is the practice of assisting a woman through childbirth using natural procedures.In Malay midwifery practices, traditional bath is one of the most important treatments during the confinement periods. However, today in Malay community, midwifery traditional knowledge of herbal medicine is d...
