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.

Nutrition is very important in postpartum. Keep in mind that your body will need to intake a lot of calories to have a steady supply of energy as well as iron, calcium and protein. Mothers must know the different foods to take in order to have their previous body regained and have the energy to supply the child with more supplements through breast feed.

Schedule regular visit with your mother, sister, mother in law and friends after the delivery so that there will not be too much pressure in the beginning. Welcome the people that want to stay with you especially the ones that are already mothers. Before the delivery process, share some ideas on how they will be of service.

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.

Mothers must take the time to acknowledge what their body have accomplished. The process is incredible to think about. At this point in time, it is important to learn the foods to eat after delivering the baby. A mother must know the right foods to feed their bodies and set it up to the next stage.

Researching is the best way to learn more about the different techniques. Planning ahead is important especially during the healing process. Individuals must take the time to learn and determine the right things to do once the baby is delivered.
