Introduction
The weeks following childbirth are as crucial as pregnancy itself. In Ayurveda, this phase is called Sutika Kala, a sacred time when a mother’s body and mind need deep nourishment and rest. At Ayurvardhini Ayurveda Hospital, Ernakulam, we specialize in Ayurvedic postnatal care that supports healing, restores energy, and enhances emotional well-being.
Why Postnatal Care is Vital
After delivery, Vata dosha increases, leading to fatigue, dryness, body ache, and emotional fluctuations. Ayurveda emphasizes that neglecting postnatal care may lead to long-term health issues. Proper Ayurvedic care ensures balanced hormones, faster recovery, and emotional stability.
