Traditional Ayurvedic postnatal care for mother and baby with massage therapies, recovery support, lactation guidance, nourishment, and rest-focused routines.
Prasava Raksha is Lifecare's specialised Ayurvedic postnatal care programme for mothers and babies, inspired by the classical principles of Sutika Paricharya described in the Ayurvedic texts. The programme is designed to support recovery after childbirth through personalised care that addresses physical healing, nourishment, rest, emotional wellbeing, lactation, and newborn care.
Care is adapted to the mother's stage of recovery and individual needs, combining traditional Ayurvedic therapies, restorative nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and practical support for the early weeks of motherhood. The focus is on helping mothers regain strength and confidence while supporting a smooth transition into life with a newborn.
To accommodate different recovery needs and schedules, care is available through 7-Day Recovery Reset, 14-Day Nourishment Programme, 21-Day Rejuvenation Programme, and 40-Day Complete Sutika Care packages.
Classical reference: Sutika Paricharya as described in Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya.
