Monitoring vital physical parameters is the important part of pregnancy but simultaneously mental status and diet and lifestyle should be changed as per development of fetus throughout the nine months.
In Ayurveda, it is understood that pregnancy is a time when everything the pregnant mother tastes, sees, touches, hears, and smells should be nourishing to the mother and child. There are very specific recommendations to bring about a state of balance in the consciousness, mind, body, behavior, and environment of the pregnant woman. |
| Q.2 |
What do you recommend for the pregnant woman's diet? |
| Ans> |
The Ayurveda explained pure, easily digested foods that nourish the dhatus (tissues) of mother and the unborn child.
Month wise regime and diet has been given for the nourishment of the baby and to minimize the complications of pregnancy.
These include foods such as milk, rice, wheat, and ghee (clarified butter), fresh vegetables, fruits and grains. The foods do not cause constipation or indigestion, and they create a more settled state of mind. |
| Q.3 |
What other techniques bring balance to the mother and unborn child? |
| Ans> |
Techniques such as abhyanga, the Ayurvedic oil massage are recommended for the mother. The massage and other techniques balance Vata dosha (the mind-body operator that governs movement and many mental functions), so the mother feels morebalanced, more even, less anxious.
The ayurvedic tradition says, "Let her hear good news, let her hear harmonious music, let her eat sweet foods, let her attend monthly celebrations to always keep her uplifted and nourished. |

Modern research shows that if there is grief, sorrow, or depression, those negative emotions definitely affect the growth of the baby. The baby could be born with lower birth-weight, the baby could be less happy.
In extreme Vata imbalance, the child might develop dry skin, hyperactivity, or musculo-skeletal problems while growing. |
| Q.5 |
What other techniques are recommended for bringing balance in pregnancy ? |
| Ans> |
The Meditation technique is a profound way for pregnant mothers to reduce stress, experience deep rest, and bring balance to all the doshas. When there is balance in the nervous system of the mother, the baby spontaneously grows in a very happy and healthy way in the first trimester and last six weeks.
Yoga in pregnancy has been specially designed by Doctors in Supraja Ayurveda.
The complications could develop, such as fluid retention, high blood pressure, or spotting during pregnancy. |
| Q.6 |
Do you think Ayurveda Medicine considers pregnancy to be a serious responsibility ? |
| Ans> |
A pregnant lady is all the time at risk of complications. It is like a pot full with oil to which a small jerk can disturb a lot. The mother must take care of herself, and in taking care of herself, she takes care of the child. |
| Q.7 |
What is the contribution of Ayurveda Medicine to the postpartum mother ? |
Top ^ |
| Ans> |
Ayurveda and modern medicine both accepts that it takes six weeks for tissues to recover from childbirth, and consequently the mother usually returns to the hospital for a six-week check-up.
This six weeks perios focuses on the revitalization of every mother through specific diet, rejuvenation techniques, and rest in Ayurveda. |
| Q.8 |
What are problems that can develop if a mother doesn't receive the rest and care she needs? |
| Ans> |
Postpartum depression and fatigue are well known in modern life, and the traditional treatments of Ayurveda are designed to avoid this.
If the recovery is not complete, if the mother is left feeling fatigued and exhausted, then this unfortunate state becomes the ground of future disease and discomfort. When the body is not recovered properly, it can manifest as chronic fatigue, stress, hemorrhoids, irritability, depression, digestive problems, and other chronic disorders.
Ayurveda Medicine prevents this kind of crack from developing in the physiology. And, in fact, many mothers who follow these simple procedures say that they feel even better than before they were pregnant. |
| Q.9 |
What do you recommend other than diet and environment ? |

| Ans> |
A daily ayurvedic oil massage (abhyanga) is also a powerful way to rejuvenate the mother. There are trained technicians who will come to the home, massage the mother, give her some herbal tea to drink, and draw her a warm bath. After even a week of ayurvedic massage therapy, the mothers feel remarkably revitalized. The aches, pains, and imbalances start to subside. Instead, a feeling of relaxation and wholeness takes over. |
