Restoring Strength, Balancing Hormones, and Nurturing Motherhood with Authentic Kerala Ayurveda.
The journey of a woman is a series of beautiful transitions from puberty to motherhood and menopause. At Ayurvardhini Ayurveda Hospital, we understand that these phases require specialized care. Our Sutika Paricharya (Postnatal Care) program is designed to support new mothers in reclaiming their health. At the same time, our comprehensive Women’s Wellness treatments address hormonal imbalances like PCOD, infertility, and menopause naturally. Located in Thrippunithura, Ernakulam, we offer a sanctuary for women to heal and rejuvenate.
Postnatal Care (Sutika Paricharya)
Complete Post-Delivery Care for Mother & Baby
Childbirth depletes the body’s energy (Ojas). In Ayurveda, the first 45 to 90 days after delivery are crucial for determining a woman’s long-term health. Our traditional Kerala Postnatal Care includes:”
- Abhyanga & Snana (Oil Massage & Herbal Bath): Using Dhanwantharam and Murivenna oils to relieve postpartum back pain, strengthen muscles, and reduce stretch marks.
- Vethu (Herbal Steam & Fumigation): A specialized therapy to prevent infections, reduce water retention, and support the uterus in returning to its normal size.
- Internal Medications: Custom herbal decoctions (Kashayams) and Lehyams to improve lactation (breast milk production), boost digestion, and stabilize hormones.
- Belly Binding: Traditional abdominal wrapping to support the core muscles and regain shape naturally.
Women’s Holistic Wellness
Natural Solutions for Every Stage of Womanhood
Beyond maternity, we specialize in treating chronic women’s health issues without the side effects of hormonal pills.”
- PCOS & PCOD Management: We use Udvartana (dry powder massage) and detox therapies to reduce weight, regulate periods, and manage insulin resistance.
- Menopause Care: Easing hot flashes, mood swings, and osteoporosis risk through Thakra Dhara and cooling Pitta-pacifying treatments.
- Infertility Treatment: Pre-conception detox (Beeja Shuddhi) to prepare the womb for a healthy pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: When is the right time to start Ayurvedic postnatal care after delivery?
A: For a normal delivery, we recommend starting gentle oil massages and internal medicines 7 to 10 days after childbirth. For C-section deliveries, external therapies usually begin after 14 to 21 days (once the incision heals), though internal herbal tonics for lactation and digestion can often start earlier under our doctor’s guidance.
Q2: Can Ayurveda help with postpartum weight gain and belly fat reduction?
A: Yes. Our postnatal program includes Udvartana (herbal powder massage) and traditional belly binding techniques that specifically target the abdominal area. Combined with a Vata-pacifying diet, these therapies help improve metabolism, reduce water retention, and tone the loose abdominal muscles naturally without affecting breastfeeding.
Q3: Do you offer residential (in-patient) postnatal care for mother and baby?
A: Absolutely. We offer comfortable in-patient facilities in Ernakulam, where both mother and baby can stay. This allows for 24/7 observation, freshly prepared Ayurvedic diet meals, and daily therapies (like baby massage and herbal baths) in a stress-free environment, ensuring the mother gets complete rest.
Q4: Is Ayurvedic treatment effective for PCOD and irregular periods?
A: Yes, Ayurveda treats the root cause of PCOD (usually Kapha-Vata imbalance). Unlike contraceptive pills that only mask symptoms, our treatments, including Panchakarma detox (Vamana or Virechana), aim to restore natural ovulation, correct insulin sensitivity, and regulate menstrual cycles permanently.
Q5: How does Ayurveda support mental health (postpartum depression) after childbirth?
A: The postpartum period involves a sudden drop in hormones, which can lead to “baby blues.” We use calming therapies like Shirodhara (warm oil flow on the forehead) and Ashwagandha-based formulations to soothe the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and balance emotional health naturally.
