Ayurveda for solutions to the many bewildering problems of pregnancy as well as maternal and foetal health.
Mother and child health has been described in great detail in Ayurveda.
All basic principles of Ayurveda need to be applied to deal with the problems of maternal and foetal mortality. Rules of diet,lifestyle, moral conduct along with varied therapies are used in dealing with various problems. There is need to take an in depth view at causes. Major changes in lifestyle may be required. Uses of various Ayurvedic formulations like various ghees and oils have given wonderful results. Ayurveda aims at producing “Supraja” or healthy progeny. Ayurveda provides answers to some of the most worrying problems facing today.
It's almost a holy process where the mental-spiritual status is just as important as the physical one. All this in depth analysis is for the process of creating “Supraja” – healthy happy children with superior intellect, strong immune systems and a sound moral and spiritual base.
I believe that Ayurveda was never more relevant than it is today.
The factors which constitute good health, i.e. balanced Doshas, healthy dhatus and proper Malas, optimally functioning sense organs, a happy contented soul and a balanced mind are the very factors that go towards a smooth pregnancy, labour and healthy progeny.
Following the regimen conducive to one's constitution, not only keeps the body healthy, it ensures to an extent a trouble free pregnancy and smooth labour. To know your constitution schedule your consultation, call 9773170560/9825463394
The concept of Agni is very important in pregnancy. It leads to the formation of a healthy Rasa Dhatu, the first of the seven body tissues, which nourishes the entire body and from which the ovum is formed. The ovum is a part of Artava (a product of Rasa). Artava consists of pure, clear Rasa Dhatu which is deposited inside the uterus every month. This process starts immediately after menstruation. The inner wall of the uterus keeps getting lined by the Rasa for a period of about 14 days. If at the end of this period, conception has not taken place, if the fertilised ovum has not embedded itself in this layer of Rasa, it is broken down and is converted to menstrual fluid. This Rasa provides support for the foetus. If it is impure it cannot carry out either function, of supporting the foetus or preparing the ovum. In women impurities of Rasa Dhatu are often the cause of infertility. Conditions like PCOD can be attributed to impurities of Rasa. Since Artava is very similar to sesame oil (and Shukra or semen is similar to ghee) both parents are given a pre-conception diet with these respective substances to enhance the qualities of the respective tissues. Rasa is responsible for the nourishment of the foetus, its tissues, its sense organs as well as its Dosha, Dhatu, Malas.
Another important preventive factor is the role of Manas or
mind. Negativity, stress, anger, envy etc all these strong negative emotions affect appetite, digestion and therefore formation of Rasa Dhatu.
Vata Dosha is of the utmost importance in the pregnant woman. All kinds of problems like pregnancy loss, ectopic pregnancy, haemorrhage, eclampsia, difficult labour, etc come under the purview of Vata Dosha. I have seen that women who are given therapies for management of Vata have surprisingly easy pregnancies and deliveries compared to those who did not. Through diet, medicines and-cleansing regimens, vata is pacified well in advance.
According to Ayurveda mother and child care involves herbs and food for each month of pregnancy, adding some cleansing therapies as well. But there is more to it. The minds of both the parents should be free of any negative emotions. Their state of mind should be happy & free of stress. It is found that negativity between the parents especially at the time of conception can cause many problems. For e.g. conception may not take place, or the child may have many congenital problems or may not live to be born full term i.e. the chances of miscarriages are increased.
Pregnancy creates changes in a woman's body. This is a time of heightened activity of Vata, the most destructive of all the Doshas. Snehana (lubrication – both internal and external again for regulation of Vata as well as nourishment of the mother and child). According to Ayurveda there are many formulations that prove beneficial to the mother.
As said above Snehana as very important in both antenatal and postnatal care. It is also recommended for the newborn indeed one of the first therapies for a newborn baby is Snehana or Abhyanga. Since there is such a heightened amount of Vata activity in the pregnant body that Snehana becomes of paramount importance. Correction of Vata takes precedence over all other problems in the pregnancy. We found that the woman who followed regular Snehana had less complications of pregnancy, recovered faster from child birth i.e. suffered less and most importantly tended to have a natural childbirth as it could be like nothing short of miracle.
I have given my experience with some of the popular ones which are widely used and which continue to give amazing results with their efficacy.
So, it's very important to plan your pregnancy before three months. It should not be an accidental.
