Abstract

Ayurveda give importance for the care of mother at every phase of her life especially when it comes to postnatal care. A puerperal period begins immediately after the separation of placenta and extending up to 6 weeks. Remarkable changes take place during the puerperium , which enable the women?s body to revert to the non pregnant state. In Ayurvedic classics it correlated with ?SutikaParicharya?, as during this period she restores her health and strength. In this stage mother should be educated to take care of herself and the new born baby. Therefore she needs special and proper care during puerperium. Acharyas have described Ashwasana (Psycological Reassurance), Aahara (Normal diet in puerperium) and Vihara, Ashwasana (Psycological Reassurance) in SutikaParicharya. Ayurveda also prescribes numerous herbs to establish healthy status of the women after delivery.
