In Ayurveda postnatal period is called Suthika Kala, which is usually one – one & a half months. Post-natal care or Suthika Parichariya is of great importance to a mother as it is during this stage she restores her health. During this period the expanded uterus shrinks back to normal position, and ligaments, muscles, and tendons associated with the uterus start gaining back the lost power. Post-delivery period is the best time for taking care of yourself and rejuvenating the whole body.
In Ayurveda, traditional therapies, treatments, and health supplements are given to the care of the mother. Ayurvedic post-delivery care is based on ancient wisdom and includes practices such as dietary changes, massage therapies, herbal remedies, yoga, and more.
Here are some of the best practices in post-delivery care at Jen Ayurvedic Hospital:
Post Natal Abdominal Binding (Udara Veshtanam)
A key aspect of Ayurvedic postnatal care involves binding the abdomen after childbirth. It supports the lower back and aids in the recovery of the abdominal muscles and organs. Ayurveda has a unique belly-wrapping method. The abdomen is wrapped several times with a long piece of fine cotton fabric that is pulled snugly but not too tight. This aids in back strengthening and normal organ and muscle positioning.
Post Delivery Slimming Therapy
Pregnancy-related weight gain has a variety of effects on the mother. It severely undermines her sense of self-worth, which may result in depression or other problems. Ayurveda offers a variety of post-delivery slimming therapies that can help new moms slim down and regain their energy.
Abhyanga is one of the most popular post-delivery slimming therapies in Ayurveda. This therapy involves massaging the body with warm oil, which helps to improve circulation and reduce stress.
Udwarthanam is another popular post-delivery slimming therapy. This therapy involves dry massage with special powders that help to break down fat deposits and improve circulation.
Medicated Hot Water Bath (Vethukuli)
The medicated hot water bath will help to strengthen the lower back, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and joints of the whole body. The therapy involves filling a tub with hot water and adding some Ayurvedic herbs to it. These herbs will help to reduce inflammation and pain.
Postpartum Massage (Abhangam)
Postpartum massage is focused on helping new moms recover from the physical stresses of childbirth. It can also promote emotional well-being by providing a moment of calm and connection in the midst of the challenges of early motherhood. According to Ayurveda, the postpartum period is regarded as a highly sensitive time, and all postpartum care systems place a strong emphasis on promoting quick healing, boosting immunity, and enhancing milk production.
Post Delivery Stretch Marks (Lepam)
Ayurveda offers various natural remedies to reduce and eliminate these Post Delivery Stretch Marks. One effective method is to apply a mixture of turmeric and sandalwood paste on the affected area. This paste helps to improve the elasticity of the skin and reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Massaging the affected area with medicated oils can also help to nourish the skin and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
