Guidelines For Postpartum Ayurvedic Medicine

By Jeffrey Hughes


Post-delivery depression is a common thing that is usually assumed until it affects you or people surrounding you. No amount of prior preparation readies new moms to surprises as well as anxieties of a newborn baby. For some women, it is easy to overcome worries besides doubts brought by motherhood while others find it almost impossible to conquer those emotions. Even though this may be the case, very few of such mothers consider such as post-birth depression. Before visiting specialists, victims of such may undergo postpartum Ayurvedic medicine which considers healing during the first 42 days after delivery. Outlined below are tips recommended by this approach.

To curb loneliness and emptiness, mothers can ensure they have company at all times. Most importantly, allow relatives or friends to take care of you during that period. However, avoid cases whereby there are so many of them at once. Since resting plus sleeping is very important during suckling, it ought not to be destroyed by too many visitors.

Nutritional routines change a bit after delivery. Due to milk production, body organs adjustment and energy requirements, mothers should ensure they feed healthy. Specialists advise that hard foods such as meat must be avoided during the first weeks. At this time, digestive system has been strained hence not energetic enough to crash such foods. To boost milk production, one may take hot drinks especially bone broths. Before and after meals, take little ground ginger combined with some lime. However, it should not be taken at the expense of colic in infants.

When it comes to proper feeding habit, it is necessary to create a feeding calendar earlier before delivery. Share this with relatives who will be bringing you food in shifts. It is tiresome to cook let alone think of what to be eaten while one is breastfeeding.

Back pains plus organs fatigue are a common experience among breastfeeding moms. In their state, exercising may be strenuous hence not advisable. Instead, regular massage with warm oil provides most needed relaxation. Therefore, new moms can request their partners or family members for a massage once in a while. If that is not possible, they can bath in warm oil regularly.

Normally, bellies sag after birth. Doctors advise that immediately after delivery, moms can tie their abdominal area with a wrapper or tummy trimmers. It should, however, be tight enough to provide comfort. Caesarian section mothers cannot do that while their wound is still fresh.

Enough sleep is key to a quick recovery process. Experts believe one major contribution of post-birth depression is insufficient sleep. Keen observation will enable mothers to learn when their infants sleep most. At that time they too can sleep. If this is not possible, then relatives or parents may help with carrying babies as mother sleeps.

Where all these guidelines fail, medical assistance must be sought. Sometimes mothers just require counselling to help them adapt besides accepting their new roles. Struggling mothers should not ignore the feelings of constant exhaustion, lack of sleep or self-denial. As much as some may be normal, others require psychological intervention.
