Abstract

Prasuta after delivery is called as Sutika. Sutika kala is period following childbirth during which all body tissues revert back approximately to a pre-pregnant state. A postnatal period begins immediately after the separation of placenta and extending up to six weeks, during this period all body tissue revert back approximately to pre pregnant stage both anatomically and physiologically. During the time of labour mother undergoes tremendous physical exertion and becomes extremely debilitated physically and mentally; which leads to derangement of Doshas especially Vata dosha in the mother. These pathological changes cause general weakness, pain abdomen, low backache, loss of appetite, dysfunction of bladder, post-natal psychosis etc. Apart from these, mother also suffers with Dhatukshaya. If this stage is unattended by appropriate measures, then that will lead to maternal morbidity. In order to reduce the postpartum maternal morbidity, reforming postpartum care measures by providing holistic and flexible maternal health care is necessary. In the existing modern medical system, puerperal care limits to supplementation of the iron, calcium and prevention of infections. Ayurvedic medicines are helps to proper involution of the uterus, increase lactation & appetite, replenishes of the lost dhatus, relax in pain & constipation and prevent infections during the Sutika kala.
