Pre & Post Natal Care

Importance of Prasava Raksha

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.

Benefits of Prasava Raksha

  • Faster healing and replenishment of uterus and associated organs
  • Improvement in the quality and quantity of breast milk
  • Nourishment and strengthening of joints, muscles and tissues
  • Compensation of blood loss after delivery
  • Cleansing of uterine remnants such as fluids and related tissues
  • Avoidance back pain
  • Dismissal of fatigue, stress and drowsiness
  • Reduction of mental trauma helps you stay positive
