Ayurvedic Postpartum Care Mothers go through a tremendous amount of change after giving birth, in life and in their bodies. It is important that they receive the right care and attention to ensure their bodies and minds remain healthy. A mother needs to heal from the childbirth and properly be guided, in order to attain balance in their near future. The nature of Ayurveda is to provide traditional and seemingly homely care for the mother and the child. The body’s diminished energy needs to be brought back to its original state.
Purpose
Ayurveda recommends the first 6 weeks after childbirth as a rest and recovery period. 42 days of complete healing. The main aim of the Ayurvedic Postpartum Care is to ensure that the mother’s digestion and metabolism are back to normal and that the baby’s lactation needs are fulfilled.
First 7 Days
The first 7 days after birth are crucial. Dhanwantharam Thailam and Bala Thailam are some of the best oils for a body massage that is done before the mother takes a bath. The water used for the bath is boiled with tamarind leaves, it can have a significantly good effect on her lactation. Later, the abdomen is protectively wrapped with a clean cloth. The diet during the first week after childbirth needs to be moderated and light. Traditionally, the mother is fed horse gram soup spiced with ginger and pepper powder.
Diet
A mother’s diet needs to be nutritious, even after the first week. She’s eating for two. One can begin the diet by monitored amounts of ghee and some meat soups. The diet should include more fibre and nourishing herbs. Dry and raw foods are recommended to be avoided.
Lactation
To increase the production of milk in the mother’s breasts, special tea can be made. Making a decoction of 4 cups of water, boiled with one teaspoon of fennel seeds and fenugreek seeds each helps the process. Dates soaked in ghee or making date shakes with organic milk also helps in production of healthy milk.
