Bringing a new life into this world is an unparalleled phase in a woman’s life. It is also a phase of anxiety, confusion and maybe even health problems related to pregnancy. Every expecting mother deserves a smooth and uneventful pregnancy so that she is bestowed with the bodily capacity and emotional strength to go through a seamless childbirth and postnatal period. Our Pregnancy and Postnatal Care addresses the new mother, her baby and also her immediate loved ones and caregivers. Yes, we imply that taking care of a pregnant woman and an infant is not a one-person job but a collective responsibility.
Ayurveda is the primary go-to system in India and especially Kerala when it comes to pregnancy and postnatal care. Surprisingly, Ayurvedic pregnancy care begins even before conception. It goes all the way back to menarche. A woman desirous of nurturing a baby is advised a series of special medications and regimen to prepare her for successful and stable conception. There are very subtle observations to evaluate fetal growth and health. There are month-wise diet, medications and practices to be followed by a pregnant woman, each of which is tailor-made as per the body type of the woman, season, associated health conditions and so on. Wise physicians and experienced elderly develop regional modifications to these core Ayurveda principles making Ayurveda pregnancy and postnatal care almost like a ritual or tradition, passed on from generations to generations.
The AYUSH Ayurveda team did an in-depth survey on the variants of Ayurveda pregnancy and postnatal care practiced in Kerala. Keeping this as a foundation, we have developed a refined version of pregnancy and postnatal regimen suitable to Oman. This includes medicines of the highest quality, relaxing and strengthening therapies, and custom diet and lifestyle orientation. The family is also given elaborate detailing on what each procedure is and why they are important. Exclusive counseling and emotional support is given to the mother in every session.
