The time immediately after giving birth is filled with sleepless nights and lots of feeding and advice. However, among many new mothers the same question quietly steals into their minds. For how long should they wait to recover from this experience? What is the best postnatal program that will help them? The answer is simple and is based around the concept of Ayurveda.
What each duration really offers
Ayurveda considers childbirth the period of weakness. After childbirth women need to restore their energy with the help of some techniques. These include oil therapies, herbal steam and baths, special diet, and appropriate remedies. According to Ayurveda, there are various durations of this restoration process.
🌸 7 days: A gentle reset. It suits mothers with an uncomplicated delivery and strong support at home.
🌸 14 days: For many mothers, the sweet spot. There’s time for a full course of therapies and a settled diet, without being away from your baby for too long.
🌸 21 days: Ideal after a C-section or a long labour, or when exhaustion, back pain or low milk supply are weighing on you.
🌸 28 days: The deepest rebuild. It suits mothers who want unhurried, complete rest, or whose recovery needs closer medical attention.
