Importance Of Ayurveda Postpartum Care

By Robert Gray


After giving birth, a mother will feel exhausted and worn out. Ayurveda postpartum care recommends that after childbirth, a new mother needs to rest for at least six weeks. Without recovering and prolonged depression, a mother may experience stress, fatigue, hemorrhoids, digestive problems and irritability which can lead to other issues.

Extra care and support is needed during this period. As mothers feel exhausted, especially when transitioning into motherhood, with all those responsibilities, support and care are very important. If these needs are neglected, it may lead to problems later on. The mother also has to be in a peaceful environment. The room should be kept clean and quiet at all times. A daily warm massage keeps a new mother feeling relaxed and fresh.

The diet should be monitored. Fresh food needs to be provided. Food preparation is an important aspect when it comes to mother and baby care. A mother should be provided with fresh food every day. This is because fresh meals have high nutrition value and can be easily and quickly digested providing enough nourishment for recovery and will ensure that the baby rests well. Eating leftovers is discouraged in this kind of treatment. People around should ensure that you are given fresh meals as you will not be in a position of preparing it.

Stomach wrapping is a traditional method that helps the body to restore organs and muscles to their rightful places and to fill in empty spaces. Soon after childbirth, wrapping your stomach helps in removing leftover chord parts. It will also ensure that you regain back your shape without being worried about floppy and saggy skin. Use a long piece of scarf and cloth that is comfortable.

Infant massage is also encouraged. Baby must be massaged with warm herbal oil that greatly aids in a peaceful resting baby free from colic. The journey through the birth canal can be a stressful process and adjusting to a new environment is a process. A twenty-minute massage can help in creating a bond with parents and will avoid symptoms such as fussiness in babies.

Resting is very important during this time. When a baby sleeps, you should also take that opportunity and sleep. This is because resting will make your mood better and can improve your immune system and metabolism. In addition, when you feel depressed, consider seeking the assistance of a professional so that you become better without doing harm to yourself or the child.

It is important that you include herbs in your daily diet. They help in supporting your diet not forgetting recovery. Before taking the herbs, you should talk to your doctor first to ensure that it is safe. Fenugreek seeds, fennel, cumin, will greatly help in digestion and support lactation. They should be boiled in water before taken.

Stay indoors as much as possible and avoid visitors. For the first three weeks, you should only let the baby be cared for with the parents and the helper. This is because both the mother and baby are sensitive and you should be sure that those in contact with you two have good intentions. In addition, many people and their energy can be quite overwhelming for the both of you.
