Ayurvedic Postnatal Care for UAE Mothers | What Makes It Different & Effective
Being a mom is a significant shift in your life. The postpartum period will help with physical healing from childbirth and emotional healing as well. Many new mothers in the UAE spend their first few weeks of becoming a mom with no extended family support, as they also try to balance a busy lifestyle and are beginning to seek out a more supportive and holistic approach to recovery. The growing preference for ayurvedic approaches to postnatal care is a natural result. Ayurvedic postnatal care offers a holistic support system for long-term health, rather than temporary relief.
Most of current postnatal care focuses on treating the symptoms of an imbalance, and does not look to understand the root causes of post-delivery imbalances. At Aarogyashala, authentic Kerala Ayurvedic practices have been modified to meet the needs of mothers living in the UAE, and provide safe, culturally appropriate and individualized postpartum care based on the wisdom of Ayurveda combined with current wellness standards.
Understanding Postnatal Care in Ayurveda
Significance of Sutika Kala
Sutikakala is the term for the postpartum period in āyurvedic tradition. The postpartum period is an important healing period for mothers, as during this time they can completely focus on themselves to heal and recover. The chief goals during this time are to help a new mother regain their strength, to stabilize their hormones, to provide emotional support, and to repair the body from any damage done while pregnant or giving birth to their child.
Physical Changes Experienced After Delivery
After giving birth, a woman goes through many various types of physical and emotional change including:
- Hormonal Changes
- Weakness or Instability of Muscles and Joints
- Slow Down of Digestion
- Fatigue, Disturbed Sleep, and Increased Emotional Sensitivity.
Even though these physical changes are a normal part of life, Ayurveda states that these issues can be prevented or treated through proper postnatal ayurvedic treatment. Without treatment of these conditions, a mother could develop chronic fatigue, hormonal disorders, decreased immunity, or emotional instability later on in life. Therefore, helping a woman recover from childbirth with postnatal ayurvedic therapy sets a strong foundation for long-term health and well-being.
Postnatal Challenges Faced by Mothers in the UAE
Mothers in the UAE face challenges unlike any other moms around the world as they navigate life after childbirth.
- They live a fast-paced lifestyle which often results in women jumping back into responsibilities before they’ve had adequate rest.
- There is typically less support available within the family unit, especially for expatriate/foreign living (ie; due to nuclear family units being the norm, there is less access to traditional postnatal support systems).
- The climate affects their body physically (heat, dehydration and fatigue) and mentally.
- The impact of sleep deprivation, constant stress, and hormonal fluctuations can greatly affect their mental health.
- In addition, traditional postnatal practices may not be known/available through style or culture of that country.
All of these; provide a compelling case for adopting structured ayurvedic treatment for mothers recently delivered in the UAE, which would enable mothers to receive holistic healing and recovery.
What Makes Postnatal Ayurveda Care Different from Conventional Care
Motherhood in the UAE presents unique challenges that make it difficult for mothers to experience the natural healing process after giving birth.
1. Rapid return to daily responsibilities.
The majority of mothers return to their daily responsibilities prematurely, frequently before they have fully healed from their delivery.
2. Lack of support systems
Many expat parents in the UAE often have limited access to family members for helping new parents with their postpartum recovery period.
3. Environmental stressors
Hot weather, dehydration and fatigue can greatly impact the energy and digestive functions of mothers.
4. Mental health issues
A combination of stressful situations, lack of sleep and changes in hormonal levels can contribute to a mother’s emotional well-being..
5. Cultural differences
Mothers may not be aware that post-partum care in ayurvedic traditions can be beneficial for them, however, the resources to receive ayurvedic treatments for postpartum recovery are becoming more accessible.
By taking all of these factors into consideration, a structured program for holistic healing using ayurvedic techniques for all mothers in the UAE should be made available for those who would like to receive them.
