Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medical system, has eight branches and one among them is gynaecology. Various therapies mentioned in this branch ensure women’s health and wellness. If you are a pregnant woman searching for help from an Ayurvedic practitioner, he/she will surely prescribe you specific diets and regimen which help you have a natural delivery. ayurvedic treatment towards ensuring a natural delivery includes not only the diet, but also the application of some medicinal oil on the body and the intake of some herbal decoctions. Ayurvedic texts also speak about various therapies aimed at the wellbeing of women after the delivery. Some women experience uterine bleeding or haemorrhage after the delivery and Ayurveda has preventive measures for these disorders. Diet and regimen play a key role in the treatment along with medicines like samanga, nyagrodha, ksheera viksha, madhuka etc. According to Sushruta Samhita, pregnancy can last nine to eleven months. ``Eleven-month pregnancies were not very uncommon in older generation. But now it is something very scary. The mother will be rushed to hospital and the modern medical practitioners go for a caesarian birth abruptly,’’ says Preetha, an Ayurvedic practitioner in Kerala. Ayurveda also has remedies to cure gynaecological disorders like irregular menstruation, white discharge, cysts and fibroids in uterus etc. Panchakarma, Uttara basti etc are some of the therapies prescribed for uterus-related problems in Ayurveda.
