Prenatal & Postnatal Treatments
Nurturing Mother & Child Through Every Sacred Phase
PRENATAL CARE
In Ayurveda, pregnancy (Garbhini Paricharya) is regarded as a sacred and transformative phase that requires gentle care, balance, and nourishment for both mother and baby. Ayurvedic prenatal care focuses on supporting the natural intelligence of the body while maintaining harmony of the doshas, strengthening maternal tissues, and promoting healthy fetal development.
Ayurveda emphasizes month-wise care, personalized according to the mother’s constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalances (Vikriti). Through appropriate diet, lifestyle guidance, gentle therapies like mild Abhyangam, and herbal support, prenatal Ayurveda aims to ensure a comfortable pregnancy and prepare the body and mind for childbirth
Diet & Lifestyle Guidance
Ayurveda recommends warm, nourishing, easily digestible foods, proper rest, positive routines, and mindful practices to support both physical and emotional health throughout pregnancy.
Benefits of Ayurvedic Prenatal Care

POSTNATAL CARE (Sūtikā Paricharyā)- Restoring balance, strength, and vitality after childbirth
In Ayurveda, the postnatal period is known as Sūtikā Kāla—a sacred time dedicated to restoring the mother’s strength, balancing the doṣas, and nurturing both mother and newborn. Proper postnatal care is considered essential for lifelong health and wellbeing.

तस्या विशेषेण परिचर्या विधीयते॥
A woman who has recently delivered is called Sūtikā, and she requires special care and regimen for proper recovery and health. Ayurveda emphasizes nourishment, rest, gentle therapies, and emotional support to help the mother recover from the physical and mental changes of childbirth.
Why Ayurvedic Postnatal Care?
Unlike generalized postnatal care, Ayurveda addresses the root cause of post-delivery imbalances, not just the symptoms.
After childbirth, Vāta doṣa naturally increases due to blood loss, tissue depletion, and physical strain. If left unmanaged, it may lead to chronic pain, digestive disorders, fatigue, anxiety, and hormonal imbalance later in life.
Ayurvedic postnatal care focuses on Vāta-śamana through warmth, oil therapies, nourishing foods, and rest.

Ayurveda views postnatal care as a foundation for lifelong health. Through proper therapies, diet, and lifestyle practices, the body’s tissues (Dhātus) are gradually rebuilt, digestion is strengthened, and vitality is restored.

Postnatal care nourishes the body tissues and restores strength
The postnatal phase is emotionally sensitive. Ayurveda emphasizes gentle routines, calming therapies, and compassionate support to stabilize the mind and reduce stress, anxiety, and mood disturbances.
A calm mother creates a nurturing environment for the newborn.
Ayurvedic postnatal care includes specific diets and herbal preparations that:
- Improve digestion (Agni)
- Enhance breast milk production
- Prevent bloating, constipation, and weakness
By supporting digestion, Ayurveda ensures better nourishment for both mother and baby.
Many chronic conditions in women—joint pain, backache, gynecological disorders, early aging—are linked to improper postnatal recovery. Ayurveda aims at prevention, ensuring the body heals completely before returning to routine activities.
Ayurvedic postnatal care is not one-size-fits-all. Each care plan is customized based on:
- Body constitution (Prakṛti)
- Delivery type
- Strength and digestion
- Lifestyle and environment
This personalized approach ensures safe, effective, and sustainable recovery.
