Korean Traditions

What is Sanhujori (산후조리)?

Sanhujori is the Korean postpartum tradition focused on helping mothers recover fully after childbirth through rest, warmth, nutritious food, and family support. Here are the key principles:

1

Rest & Recovery (몸조리)

Korean mothers are encouraged to rest for at least 21 days after childbirth — avoiding physical strain, staying warm, and focusing entirely on recovery and bonding with the newborn.

2

Nutritious Meals (미역국)

Miyeokguk (seaweed soup) is the cornerstone of Korean postpartum nutrition — rich in iron and calcium, it supports milk production and recovery. Other traditional foods include samgyetang, pumpkin porridge, and nutrient-dense stews.

3

Warmth & Protection

Korean postpartum care emphasizes keeping the body warm — avoiding cold foods and drinks, using warm compresses, and maintaining a warm room temperature to support healing and prevent long-term health issues.
