Ayurvedic postpartum care is a deeply nurturing and restorative approach designed to support both mother and baby during the transformative period after birth. Known as the "42-day sacred window," this time is considered vital for healing, bonding, and laying the foundation for long-term health.

In Ayurveda, childbirth is seen as a Vata-dominant event, leaving the mother in a state of imbalance. To restore harmony Ayurveda applies the Four Pillars of Health, Rest, Diet, Herbs, and Body Care. New mothers are guided on how to rekindle their digestive system (Agni) after birth through warm, nourishing and easy-to-digest meals. Gentle herbal remedies are given to help speed the healing process and support recovery and lactation.
