The mother’s body goes through several changes to create the new life’s development. The additional care is provided through Ayurveda besides facilities and medical doctors at present. The holistic approaches are provided with Ayurveda to support the emotional and physical well-being for the baby and mother by the use of nutritional measures during the pregnancy phase. The ayurvedic practices followed during pregnancy leads to complicated-free delivery.
Ayurveda and child’s birth
Antenatal care or Garbhini perikarya serves as the part of Prasuti Tantra that plays a significant role in Ayurveda, while dealing with childbirth. Since the day of conception until the time of delivery there prevails the antenatal care. The garbhini perikarya regimen aids in the foetus development, delivery, health of the mother and her ability to withstand the labour pain. Childbirth is considered as the life event which interrupts the balance of Doshas or energies. The traditional oil application is suggested by the Ayurvedic guidelines from the sixth month to restore the balance. Regular massage in your third trimester eases the labour pain. Based on Ayurveda, the vata dosha must be balanced at pregnancy. The vata dosha is the combination of air and space dominating the nervous system.
Healing Oils
Ayurveda has specific recommendations for bringing the balance in mind, behaviour, consciousness, body and environment of the pregnant women. The massage therapy is considered as one of them. The ancient times had massage therapy as a part of Ayurvedic healing. The age-old practice of our country is getting massages during, before and after pregnancy. The regular massage is adapted for the pregnancy massage, but has customised requirements for the pregnant women and their changing bodies.
