Ayurvedic Options To Alleviate Postpartum Blues

By Peter Thomas


For mothers, the first moths after the delivery are critical because the uterus have expanded due to the delivery and then shrink back to its regular size again. The muscles, ligaments and tendons that connects it to the uterus will start to regain the strength and power that was lost during the labor. There are many things to consider once the baby is already delivered. Mothers in particular must know the right procedures to prevent them from having postpartum. When it comes to Postpartum Ayurvedic Medicine, individuals must know the right methods step by step in order to regain their normal selves.

Daily routine. New mothers can expect their daily lives will significantly change after the delivery as she will respond to the childs rapid changes and their new role as a parent. Family members can provide support while the mother performs other basic necessities to their selves. This will allow them to have moments where they can restore the sense of order.

A new mother must avoid any external exercises during the first forty two days after giving birth. They must focus their attention to their body and stop the bleeding or the pain increases. They can apply oils on top of their heads every morning, light scarf on their ears and head and sleep with a pillow on their eyes. They should provide special treatment to their organs and avoid extreme weather, smells or sounds.

Meet the calcium needed for your body. Calcium keeps the heart pumping, nerves continue to signal and make the muscles function. This are stored in teeth and bones where it supports the structures. Great sources of calcium are cheese, yogurt, milk, soy products and green leafy vegetables. Fish that have bones that could be eaten are also rich in calcium.

Eat warm and ground soups and broth. This will save a lot of energy when digesting. Eat a few number of ginger roots with lime and salt before and after eating the meal. If the individual finds themselves gassy and bloated or if the baby is experiencing the same, find the foods that are easy and simple to digest.

Abhyanga. Every day abhyanga for the baby and the mother will pacify them, ground the mom, and allow them to be present on their new roles. The woman must have this performed by a licensed practitioner or a family member or partner. If no one is available they can do it themselves. Oiling the child will enhance the bond which is very important between the mother and child.

Seek the aid of a professional. Most mothers will just brush off insomnia, fatigue and feeling of inadequacy and guilt. These are common feelings that a mother will feel during the postpartum period. Acquire the aid of professionals if you feel some doubts.

A new mom must get lots of sleep. If the child is sleeping, then they should also sleep. Sleep greatly supports metabolism, mood, memory and the immune system. This will help the body recover quickly.

Get recommendations from fellow mothers. Most moms will share their knowledge to women that have their first born child. They will recommend the right kinds of foods, medicines and herbs that will help them overcome postpartum.
