SUTIKA PARICHARYA / POST NATAL CARE IN AYURVEDA
l After Delivery
the mother needs to be looked after with great care and vigilance.
l During
pregnancy the fetus attains its nourishment from mother’s body. This makes the
sapta Dhatus of the mother weakened and diminished from the usual state.
l After delivery
the mother’s health becomes weak due to the loss of fluids and blood and the
emptiness created in the body after the expulsion of fetus from the uterus.
l This phase is
called as the soothika period.
l These ranges
from 6 weeks to 6 months and some believe that it lasts until the restoration
of the menstrual cycle.
l Ayurveda says
that after delivery mother’s Agni will be low and Vata is vitiated immediately
after the delivery.
