The road to motherhood can be smooth and fast , or long and winding .
To soften and support this journey, everyone can equip themselves with simple and natural tools to complete the medical journey.
Cryotherapy (the use of cold) is one of these tools. Applied to the perineal area, it becomes an ally of choice before, during and after pregnancy .
Perineal cryotherapy in pre -conception ⌛️
Due to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and relaxing actions, the cold will help prepare the woman's body to welcome pregnancy.
Applied to the perineal area, the cold packs will cause a vascular and lymphatic drainage effect in the pelvis. The functions of the reproductive organs will be supported by an increase in blood flow and the elimination of toxins.
Improved blood circulation allows for better circulation of the body's hormones, which are essential for an optimal ovulatory cycle.
Perineal cryotherapy will also have an effect on the nervous system and the production of serotonin and endorphin. This will allow for better sleep , therefore more energy during the day, less stress and... a better libido ;)
Maholi isn't just for women. Men can use it too! Lowering the temperature of the perineum and testicles can help increase sperm production and motility.
All these benefits make perineal cryotherapy an asset to support fertility, both female and male!

Perineal cryotherapy during pregnancy 🤰
Maholi supports you throughout your pregnancy to soothe the various ailments of this period.
You can start applying it to your perineum from the second trimester of pregnancy, for local action and on your entire body.
The increase in hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, will alter the body's thermal regulation. The cold pack will help restore some balance, thus reducing hot flashes and sleep disturbances such as insomnia.
Application at the perineal level results in better venous return, which will reduce swelling of the lower limbs or water retention, and limit the appearance of vulvar varicose veins or pelvic edema.
Constipation is a real enemy during pregnancy. Firstly , because of the discomfort it causes the mother, but also for the baby, who feels surrounded by "stones". Perineal cryotherapy, through its vascular and neurological action, will stimulate intestinal peristalsis and therefore facilitate the movement and evacuation of stools.
Constipation means likely hemorrhoids . That's where Maholi becomes your best friend! Relief guaranteed by the local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effect created by the cold, combined with endorphin production and improved blood circulation.
As a little bonus, you can use your cold pack to relieve headaches and chest tightness by applying it locally.
Don't forget to pack your Holi in your maternity suitcase ;)

Perineal cryotherapy during postpartum 🤱
The baby is finally here. The encounter is perfect, but your body is still feeling the effects of the marathon of childbirth.
Postpartum, women need external and internal warmth, rest, and horizontality. But cold applied locally, for short periods (10 to 20 minutes maximum) to the perineum, is a valuable tool for promoting tissue regeneration.
Maholi perfectly meets these criteria. Its anti-inflammatory action will reduce swelling of the perineum and vulva, and accelerate healing in the event of a graze, tear, or episiotomy.
Its action on hormonal balance will allow the mother to feel good, reducing anxiety and tissue stress. And thus helping to soften the tsunami of Matrescence.
Applied to the breasts, the cold pack can facilitate the passage of milk production by reducing inflammation of the mammary glands.
Perineal cryotherapy will allow the mother's transit to return to normal, avoiding or limiting hemorrhoids.

Conclusion
To conclude, Maholi accompanies you at each stage of your parenthood and will become your ally in your daily life as a Woman and Mother.
