TV: Confinement Practices

I am malay and we apply “param” and “pilis” – traditional herbs and plants that have been grounded into powder and mixed with water to make a paste to be applied and smeared on the body and forehead of the new mother to “eliminate excess wind” from the body and to keep her fresh and warm. Is this necessary?
