Postnatal Recovery the Ayurvedic Way: What Most Mothers Don't Know About Prasava Raksha

Childbirth changes a woman's body in powerful ways — but most mothers don't get the recovery support they truly need. Modern postnatal care focuses on the baby, while the mother is left dealing with fatigue, back pain, hormonal imbalance, poor sleep, and slow healing.

Ayurveda has a deeper understanding of postpartum recovery. Its traditional therapy, Prasava Raksha, is designed to help mothers regain strength, balance hormones, and restore their physical and emotional well-being.

What Is Prasava Raksha?

Prasava Raksha is a complete Ayurvedic postnatal care system that:

  • Balances Vata dosha (the main cause of postpartum discomfort)
  • Strengthens the spine, pelvis, and core
  • Boosts lactation
  • Enhances digestion and metabolism
  • Supports mental calmness and emotional stability

It focuses on healing the mother from the inside out — not just relieving symptoms.

Key Benefits

1. Faster Physical Recovery

Warm medicated oils and Ayurvedic massages support muscle repair, reduce pain, and improve circulation.

2. Stronger Back & Pelvic Muscles

Kalari-based therapies help restore strength, flexibility, and alignment.

3. Balanced Hormones & Better Mood

Ayurvedic herbs and routines help stabilize emotions and reduce postpartum stress.

4. Improved Lactation

Specific herbs and oils enhance milk flow naturally.

5. Better Digestion & Energy

Ayurveda restores the digestive fire (Agni), helping mothers regain stamina quickly.

What a Typical Prasava Raksha Program Includes

  • Abhyanga (full-body oil massage)
  • Kalari massage (for strength and mobility)
  • Herbal steam
  • Postnatal belly care
  • Internal herbal medicines
  • Diet guidance for faster recovery
