The first 40-45 days after childbirth referred to as Sutika Kala in Ayurveda is a transformative period for the new mother. This is not just a time of rest but a golden window for deep physical healing, emotional rebalancing, and long-term rejuvenation.
At Sreerudra Ayurveda Multispecialty Hospital and Research Center, located in Trivandrum and Alappuzha, we provide specialized Ayurvedic postnatal care in Kerala rooted in classical Ayurvedic principles, with modern comforts and expert guidance.
Post natal period starts immediately after the child’s birth up to three months. In a different opinion the period lasts as long as the breast feeding persists.
During the maternity period the female undergoes variety of changes and tantrums due to the hormonal changes in their body. It is important to aware themselves and family members about these changes. Restoration of the mother’s health has prime role as the health and happiness of mother reflects in the growth and milestones of baby.
According to Ayurveda, childbirth disturbs the Vata dosha, leaving the body cold, dry, and weak. Without proper care, these imbalances can result in chronic fatigue, digestive issues, mood swings, joint pain, and weakened immunity.
Ayurvedic postnatal care in Kerala at Sreerudra focuses on:
1. Balancing doshas (especially Vata)
2. Rebuilding strength and stamina
3. Supporting lactation and digestion
4. Preventing postpartum complications
5. Enhancing emotional well-being
Our holistic approach ensures that mothers regain health and vitality, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Ayurveda has a holistic approach towards each individual considering their innate characters( prakriti) and physical status( avastha).However the care and treatment plans for soothika paricharya have a general protocol up to an extent because the post partum is a state, not a disease, and the changes happening in females are similar.
Rapid involution of uterus immediately after the delivery often results in an emptiness of abdominal cavity( vata kopam),abdominal bloating( gastric discomfort),indigestion, anemia etc. Balancing these changes along with cleansing and strengthening the uterus ( garbhashaya shodana) for the regular periodic cycles are primary aims.

Post natal care supports a mother’s physical recovery, hormonal balance, and emotional well being after childbirth. It also ensures proper lactation, nourishes the baby, and helps prevent complications like back pain, weakness, or postpartum depression. Ayurveda views this period as critical for rebuilding strength and restoring balance in the body.
Natal care focuses on the pregnancy period and ensuring the health of both mother and baby before birth. Post natal care begins immediately after delivery, prioritizing recovery from childbirth, breastfeeding support, and newborn care.
Ayurveda emphasizes balancing Vata dosha, which increases during childbirth. Treatments may include Abhyanga (oil massage), herbal tonics, medicated ghee, and specific dietary guidelines to strengthen tissues, improve immunity, and calm the nervous system for both mother and baby.
Ayurvedic baby care often includes gentle oil massages with sesame or coconut oil to promote muscle strength, improve circulation, and calm the baby. Herbal remedies are also used carefully to support immunity and digestion, under guidance from experts.
Traditionally, Ayurveda suggests a 40 day care period following delivery, though the duration may vary depending on the mother’s recovery and health needs. Extended support may be required for cesarean recovery or breastfeeding challenges.
There is nothing ayurveda couldn’t offer you. From minor disease treatments to entire body rejuvenation, ayurveda has everything in it to keep your wellbeing.
