Ayurveda places great emphasis on the care of pregnant women (Garbini Paricharya) and postnatal mothers (Jatakarma / Sutika Paricharya). Proper care during pregnancy and after delivery ensures the health of both mother and child, balances doshas, strengthens tissues, and promotes overall vitality. Ayurvedic care focuses on diet, herbal therapies, detoxification, massage, and lifestyle practices to support maternal health, recovery, and nourishment.
