Introduction
Motherhood is a transformative journey that brings immense joy, but it also requires special care and nourishment. Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, offers holistic postnatal care to help new mothers recover, regain strength, and nurture their newborns. At Swasthyam Ayurved Clinic, we provide personalized Ayurvedic therapies, diet plans, and herbal remedies to ensure a healthy postpartum phase.
Why Is Ayurvedic Postnatal Care Important?
After childbirth, a mother’s body undergoes significant changes. Ayurveda focuses on balancing Vata dosha, which tends to become aggravated post-delivery, leading to fatigue, weakness, and emotional instability. Ayurvedic postnatal care ensures:
✔️ Faster recovery and healing
✔️ Improved lactation and digestion
✔️ Hormonal balance and emotional well-being
✔️ Strengthening of muscles and bones
✔️ Prevention of postpartum depression
