"Ayurvedic Perspectives on Postpartum Care: A Review of Sutika Paricharya"

Abstract

Pregnant women experience a variety of physiological and anatomical changes during pregnancy, and their bodies attempt to return to their pre-pregnancy states both physically and physiologically following delivery. Ayurveda provides a fairly scientific description of how to treat women during their periods. The name "Sutika" in Ayurveda refers to a woman who gives birth to a baby and placenta, but "puerperal women" is the phrase used in modern concepts. Acharya Charka has not provided a specific time restriction, although Ayurvedic literature uses the term "Sutika" to describe a woman after the placenta explodes between the end of labor and the uterus's full involution. Every classic has specified a time frame for particular dietetics, etc.
Taking care of ladies who are going through puerperium can be regarded as natural. Acharya
Sushruta has accurately said that Sutika Kala‟ lasts for one and a half months, or, to put it another way, until she has a regular menstrual cycle. Massage and oral administration of medicinal Ghrita decoctions for three to seven days are used to control Sutika.
