Ayurveda & MOMS

IN AYURVEDA, PREGNANCY AND MOTHERHOOD ARE VIEWED AS A VERY SPECIAL AND NUMINOUS TIME IN A WOMAN'S LIFE. IT IS TIME TO GET FAMILIAR WITH ITS RELEVANCE FOR MODERN DAY MOTHER AND CHILD CARE.

Being a trusted repository of ancient Indian wisdom, Ayurvedic science talks in-depth about the health and wellbeing of mothers and children. The wisdom regarding the general management of pregnancy is described in Ayurvedic Samhitas as "Garbhini Paricharya". There are explicit recommendations in Ayurveda to bring about a state of balance in the mind, body, behavior, consciousness, and environment of the pregnant woman.

Similar to its approach to promoting longevity, the Ayurvedic approach towards mother and childcare is indeed a holistic one. Ayurvedic recommendations touch upon the nutrition, lifestyle, behavior, activities, and even the spiritual actions of not only the mother and child, but the entire family.
