The childbirth process is brought on by Vata activity. Vata will increase significantly shortly after delivery. Additionally, the mother’s immunity, hygiene, and digestion all suffer badly. Therefore, Vata must be balanced and the mother must be strengthened with extra care. The mother’s body is put through a lot of physical stress during childbirth, especially in the hips, lower back, and abdomen. This bundle aids in easing such muscular stress.

If normal delivery occurs, it is preferred to start the package after 7 days; if not, it must be started after 15 days or when the wound has healed.

 Treatment Plan

The first six weeks of a new mother’s life are dedicated to providing her with active care, repairing her physiology and psychology after the strain of pregnancy and delivery, and educating her on how to care for both herself and her child. This will also involve providing proper nursing, realigning the uterus to its pre-pregnancy position, and avoiding the mother’s physical and mental stress. The next 4-5 months are a rehabilitation phase during which the focus is on body strengthening. An ayurvedic postpartum regimen is a great approach to help new mothers quickly regain their health and strength, gently balance irritated doshas, and make sure they are not burdened with the problems associated with excessive hair loss after delivery.

RECOMMENDATION FOR MOTHER’S DIET AND LIFESTYLE

After giving birth, a mother’s diet should be quite light. The mother needs to eat healthily. A healthy diet can provide you energy and well-being, whereas a poor diet can cause extreme exhaustion. A pure, well-balanced diet aids in the relaxation of vitiated Vata. Diet and lifestyle go hand in hand by nature, and during the postnatal period, rest is your best friend. Don’t work out during the postpartum period. Adopt proper hygienic habits to guarantee ideal genital and breast health. The recommendation is to pat dry after each vaginal wash. Take up walking and light exercise. This might promote blood flow and bowel movement.
