Importance of Prasava Raksha | Ayurvedic Post Natal Care
Ayurveda considers Prasava Raksha or post-natal care as an important practice and highly recommends it. According to Ayurveda, child delivery can immensely increase the vata activity in a women’s body. Specialized care, medications and diet can help reduce vata dosham and help strengthen the new mother’s mind and body. Post-natal care or Sutika paricharya during the first three months post delivery helps mother to regain her physical fitness and helps induce proper lactation. During this period, the expanded uterus shrinks back to normal position, and ligaments, tendons and muscles associated with uterus start regaining their lost strength and elasticity. Pregnancy period is a remarkable journey of 40 weeks for both the mother and baby. The daily routine including food and lifestyle of mother is equally important in all the 3 trimesters. Ayurveda recommends proper care in the form of medicines, food and therapies during this blissful period.
