Ayurvedic Postpartum Self-Care Checklist

Ayurvedic postpartum care is based on ancient tried and true healing practices for postpartum recovery, especially focusing on the first 42 days. Ayurvedic postpartum care focuses on four pillars for optimal health: Rest, Nutrition, Herbs, and Mind/Body Care. Each pillar is equally important, as are the four legs of a table or the four corners of a house. It creates a solid foundation for healing and recovery. In Ayurveda, they say the first 42 days for the next 42 years; meaning, how you care for yourself (and are cared for) during the first 42 days after birth will affect and impact the next 42 years of your life.
