The rebozo's benefits
The magic of an ancestral tradition
The rebozo (shawl in English) is a woven garment crafted in a variety of patterns, colors, and materials, and used in Mexico and some countries of Central America. A symbol of femininity and the transmission of traditional knowledge, it was given as a gift to young girls by their mothers or grandmothers to accompany them throughout their lives. In everyday life, it was used as a fashion accessory, a baby carrier, a light blanket, or a bag for goods or provisions. In the hands of traditional midwives, it became a therapeutic and ritual tool during pregnancy and childbirth.
An valuable tool for today's moms
The rebozo arrived in France a couple years ago. Initially, it was used to perform the “rebozo ritual”, inspired by traditional Mexican practices to support new mothers after birth. Today, new ways of using this cloth have continued to evolve, making this tool a vital companion during pregnancy, postpartum, and throughout the journey of motherhood.
