    I, myself being a mother and moreover a doctor, has taken Post natal Ayurvedic care and has advised many mothers to follow the same. I myself has got benefits of doing it and has got good feedback from those who have gone through the post natal care. Those mothers who have had a normal delivery can start with ayurvedic post natal care, 7 days after delivery. Those who had a c-section can undergo through it 2 weeks post delivery, only if your stitches have been healed, after getting it checked from your gynecologist. Some of the internal medicines that has to be taken are: Dhanwantharam kashayam, dhanwantharam gulika, Dasamoolarishtam with Jeerakarishtam, Kurinji kuzhambu lehyam, Vidaryadi lehyam, Chyavanaprash etc. The external therapies that has to be done with the help of someone at home who knows how to perform it by taking care of the mother are: Massage with Dhanwantharm kuzhambu after slighty warming it . U can either use cherupayar podi with pachamanjal to use as a body scrub or even some herbal soaps to take off excess oil. U can use incha for rubbing out the powder and oil and at last bath with herbal water boiled with nalpamara pattu alone or along with herbal leaves like puliyila, aavanakkila, muringayila etc whatever is available around one's home. This water should be boiled the previous day and fermented overnight and used for the next day. For head use plain coconut oil and wash off with plain water. After bath one should do abdominal binding with a cotton cloth or abdominal belt. Use it for 6 hours at least. Remove if you have discomfort. Avoid massaging and use of oil if you have fever.
