In Ayurveda, post-delivery care is a vital period for new mothers, focusing on physical, emotional, and spiritual rejuvenation. This phase is called “Sutika” or “Puerperium”. Ayurvedic practices aim to:

1. Promote healing and recovery
2. Rebalance doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
3. Enhance lactation and breastfeeding
4. Support emotional well-being
5. Foster a strong bond between mother and baby

Some Ayurvedic post-delivery care practices include:

1. Diet and nutrition: Wholesome foods, warm soups, and herbal teas

2. Herbal remedies: To aid lactation, digestion, and wound healing
3. Abhyanga (massage): Warm oil massages for relaxation and rejuvenation
4. Swedana (steam baths): To cleanse and nourish the body
5. Yoga and pranayama: Gentle exercises for physical and mental well-being
6. Rest and relaxation: Adequate sleep and stress management
7. Rituals and ceremonies: To celebrate the new life and support the mother’s transition.

Ayurvedic post-delivery care is tailored to each mother’s unique needs and constitution, aiming to restore balance and vitality during this precious time.
