Ayurvedic Tips To Alleviate Postpartum Blues

By Peter Thomas


The postpartum period is one of the many things in life that people do not accept until it has arrived. Women may have everything prepared and ready but there is no amount of preparation that will combat uncertainties and anxiety that will accompany in the transition of being a mother. There are various ways to fight the problem and one of them is herbs and medicines. When it comes with Postpartum Ayurvedic Medicine, individuals must learn the different techniques on how to face the issues.

Fill yourself up with love and support. Fight the psychological and physical sensations of feeling emptiness with support from your family and friends. Many peers are welcomed to help even though a person is not aware of it and remember that some do not have ideas to be intrusive. Stay close with families as much as possible.

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.

Give attention on foods to eat. After the delivery, the womans body will have to reset back from the start. Taking it easy and relaxing are good ways to do. Paying attention to the foods to take is important. Digesting the foods after eating will take so much energy on their behalf. Do not let the body take too much pressure from only eating raw veggies which are hard to be digested.

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.

Set up a food calendar before the delivery. Share this plan and let the people close to you share some insights. Cooking should be the last thing to do especially when napping and feeding the child is simpler. Cooking is very exhausting. This is a good way to demonstrate the support and love from the family.

Get a massage. Getting a massage is important. Oil is dense, nourishing and grounding. If there is someone that can help you out after the delivery, see if they do not mind giving a massage with your feet and head once in a while.

Wrap the belly. After getting a massage and hot shower, wrap the abdomen area with a long piece of cloth or abdominal binder. This is great for providing comfort emotionally and physically. The feeling of containment on the belly will give a feeling of stability.

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.
