Pre & Postnatal Ayurveda Care
Motherhood is a sacred journey, and Ayurveda considers pregnancy and postnatal care as the most delicate and transformative phases in a woman’s life. Proper care during these stages ensures the health of both mother and child — not only physically, but also emotionally and spiritually. At Vedapuri Ayurveda, we combine time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom with modern understanding to support women through every step of this journey.
Prenatal (Antenatal) Ayurveda Care
🌿 Ayurveda describes Garbhini Paricharya — the holistic care of a pregnant woman — with emphasis on diet, lifestyle, emotional wellbeing, and safe therapies.
Month-wise Care
- Customized diet (Pathya Ahara): Food recommendations that change with each month to support fetal development and maternal strength.
- Safe herbs & formulations: Gentle, non-toxic Ayurvedic medicines to improve digestion, reduce nausea, balance hormones, and ensure healthy fetal growth.
- Lifestyle guidance: Proper sleep, daily routine (Dinacharya), and seasonal regimen (Ritucharya) tailored to pregnancy.
Common Prenatal Concerns Managed
- Morning sickness, acidity, and indigestion
- Backache, leg cramps, and swelling
- Anxiety, mood swings, and sleep disturbances
- Anemia, gestational weakness, and nutritional deficiencies
Ayurvedic Therapies for Expectant Mothers
- Abhyanga (gentle oil massage): To ease joint pain, improve circulation, and relax the mind.
- Mild Svedana (steam therapy): Carefully administered to reduce stiffness.
- Yoga & Meditation: Special prenatal practices to keep the body flexible and the mind calm.
Postnatal Ayurveda Care (Sutika Paricharya)
The postnatal phase, traditionally 42 days (6 weeks), is considered as important as pregnancy itself. Ayurveda recommends special care for the mother to regain health, balance, and vitality.
Specialized Postnatal Diet
- Easily digestible, nourishing meals to improve digestion (Agni) and boost lactation.
- Use of herbs and spices like shatavari, fenugreek, dill, and cumin to support milk production.

Ayurvedic Therapies for New Mothers
- Abhyanga with medicated oils: Full-body massage to reduce fatigue, strengthen muscles, and enhance lactation.
- Udarabhyanga (belly massage): Helps tone abdominal muscles and supports uterine health.
- Kizhi & Uzhichil (herbal compress therapies): For joint and back pain relief.
- Steam therapies: To remove toxins and relax the body.
Postnatal Recovery Focus
- Restoring strength and stamina
- Healing from cesarean or vaginal delivery
