Post-Pregnancy Care

Motherhood is a beautiful journey that brings significant physical and emotional changes. Pregnancy and childbirth place considerable demands on a woman's body, and the postnatal period is traditionally considered an important time for rest, nourishment, recovery, and rebuilding strength. In Ayurveda, the period after childbirth is given special importance. Traditional postnatal care focuses on supporting the mother's strength, digestion, relaxation, nourishment, and overall balance through personalized therapies, diet, herbal preparations, and appropriate daily routines. At Pranamaya, our Post-Pregnancy Care programme follows traditional Ayurvedic practices and is tailored to the mother's individual condition. The programme may include Prasootika Abhyanga (postnatal massage), Choorna Snana (herbal powder application), Parisheka (warm water therapy), Sootika Snana (postnatal herbal bath), and Udvarthana (herbal powder massage). These traditional practices are intended to provide relaxation, support physical recovery, nourish the body, and help the mother gradually return to a comfortable and balanced routine after childbirth.
