Abstract

Mother mortality and morbidity are two of our country's most important concerns. Many mothers report an increase in medical difficulties such as backache, anaemia, joint pains, and other diseases after puerperium in our daily lives. Post-partum morbidity is common in developing countries, and its link to poor perinatal outcomes suggests that both the mother and the baby require post-partum care. Sutika is the name given to a woman after she has delivered her placenta (puerperal woman). Sutikakala (duration of puerperium) is the interval following childbirth during which all body tissues revert to a pre-pregnant state as near as possible. According to many Ayurvedic texts, the duration of this period varies. It is commonly known that during Sutikakala, various psycho-somatic changes occur, such as weight loss, loss of body fluid, lacerated genital tract, constipation, mental stress, and so on. As a result, guided Sutika paricharya with rational use of classically referred medicine would be the best solution for avoiding psycho-somatic diseases and promoting the mother's early recovery.
