Woman is treasured by the richness of continuing the human race. In Hindu culture,the puerperium was traditionally considered a period of relative impurity or ashoucha dueto the process of child birth. And a period of confinement of ten days. The elegant phaseof pregnancy & delivery brings adaptational changes in biophysiological & psychologicalparameters in puerperium, which may adversly affecther health if not properly takencare of. Since giving birth is stressful with an emotional touch of becoming new mother,even there is dramatic change in doshas, dhatus which result in declination of her health.The added responsibilities of nurturing the new baby along with recuperation of her ownhealth, makes suthika an aspirant for special attention.Ayurveda has ideally given prime importance to suthika and explained suthikaparicharya which helps in reverting her to the prepregnant state.In this perioddashamoola, jeeraka and panchakola are given importance. The Dashamoolajeerakakashaya and Panchakola kashaya being enriched with qualities like deepana, pachana,tridoshahara specially vatanulomana, vedana sthapana, vrana shodhana, grabhashayashodhana, garbhashaya sankochaka, sthanya janana, dhatuposhana, sandhaneya, grahi,jeevaneya, balya, medhya, hrudhya, rasayana etc. The same are the desired effects forthe study.Objectives:To study the concept of Suthika.To assess the effect of Dashamoolajeeraka Kashaya and PanchakolaKashaya in Suthika.To compare the efficacy of both the Kashayas in Suthika Paricharya. A Comparative Clinical study of Dashamoolajeeraka Kashaya and Panchakola Kashaya in Suthika Paricharya 5. AbstractStudy design: This research work is a single blind comparative clinical study with pre test andpost test design. 20 Postnatal women were selected and randomly categorized into 2equal groups, Group A were given Dashamoolajeeraka Kashaya and Group B were givenPanchakola Kashaya. 90ml of kashaya is given thrice a day to each group for a period ofone month from delivery.Results: The kashaya given in both the groups showed good result with significant andsatisfying improvement in most of the parameters of assessment. The Group A with dashamoolajeeraka kashaya showed significant results in Tenparameters out-off eleven, it is ahead in the parameters like regularizing the bowel andmicturation habits, normalizing lochial discharge, doing proper healing of episiotomywound, reducing abdominal pain and backache. Group B with Panchakola kashaya also showed significant results in Ten parameters.It is ahead in the following parameters like increasing the appetite of the suthika, doingproper involution of the uterus, increasing and establishing adequate lactation,whencompared to Group A. Both the groups showed equally good result in increasing strength of the Suthika.At the same time both the groups have failed in reducing the abdominal wall thickness.In total there is a positive result for the kashaya of each of the groups and can be advisedin the suthika paricharya with confidence.Key Words - Suthika, Puerperium, Dashamoolajeeraka Kashaya, Panchakola Kashaya,Uterine Involution, lochial discharge and Lactation.

Review of Literature The lady is made to lie down in nubja position, abhyanga, samvahana is done overudara, prusta and kati pradesha, using sarpi or taila or yamaka sneha. This udara peedanahelps in removing the pravartita garbha dosha. Sthanika abhyanga is followed by udara vestana using a big clean cloth. Tieing itaround kukshi parshva helps udara or garbhashaya to be in its swasthana. It also preventsthe accumulation of vayu in Udara, Hence avoiding vayu vikruthi.Sarvadaihika abhyanga to suthika stree is advised using bala taila, followed byparesheka using vatahara aushadha kwatha or ushna jala, twice a day. The suthika is alsoadvised with avagaha, acchadana etc procedures.All these procedures done are mainly to suppress or controle the vitiated vata ie,for vatanulomana.Ushna bala taila purita charmavana asana / leather bag is prepared and suthika ismade to sit over that asana. This will help in yoni prasadana. Ushnambu snana isadvised to suthika followed by dhupana using Kusta, Guggulu, Agaru, Gritha etc.All these therapies are followed by adequate vishrama which helps in klamanirharana.AAHARA The Suthika should be given with one of the chaturvidha sneha (Sarpi, taila, vasa,majja) in Uttama matra considering her agnibala and Sneha satmya. The sneha should bemixed with Pippali, Pippali mula, Chavya, Chitraka, Nagara, Hasti Pippali, Yavani,Upakunjika etc Churna.

Review of Literature 32VISHISTA SUTHIKA PARICHARYA This particular regimen is explained by Kashyapa, based on the particular type ofdesha, in which suthika is residing.Anupa Desha -In this desha the suthika should use manda which is processed by agnibalavardhaka drugs. Nivata shayana, svedana and use of only ushna dravya is beneficial.All sneha dravyas and abhishyandi ahara should be avoided.Jangala Desha - Here Sneha upachara is advised to suthika stree specially. The suthika in thisdesha should be given with grutha, taila etc. Sneha pana or yavagupana for at least 3 or 5days is beneficial , Then followed by using snigdha anna samsarjana karma. Ushnodakaparisheka is also advised.Sadharana Desha - For the suthika from this kind of land, usage of neither too sneha nor too rukshadravyas is said to be beneficial. One should advise for sadharana vidhi.Videsha Jati The suthika stree of mlecha jaati should use raktha, mamsarasa niryuha,kandamula and phala in their paricharya.Kashyapa also has given use of taila and gritha in case of delivery of male andfemale child respectively33. Followed by yavagu pana processed with deepaneya dravyaafter the digestion of sneha. This is for 5 to 7 days then mandadi upakrama should befollowed.GENERAL INDICATIONS AND CONTRA INDICATIONS -A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya15 29.

PUERPERIUM"Motherhood is neither a duty nor a privilege, but simply the way that humanitycan satisfy the desire for physical immortality and triumph over the fear of death." -- Rebecca West39The Puerperium is the period of maternity care. Is also a time of psychologicaladjustment, This tuning back period in fact has received relatively less attention thanpregnancy and delivery. It is a time of great importance for both the mother and herbaby. The mothers joy at the arrival of the new baby may be tempered by anxiety abouther childs welfare and her ability to cope. From latin language Puerperium word got originated or derived, which meansto bring forth (pario) a child (puer)40. It is the period of adjustment after child birth whenanatomical and physiological changes of conception are reversed to an almostprepregnancy level41. The pelvic organs returns to the non-gravid state, the metabolicchanges of pregnancy are reversed and lactation is established. This postpartum periodlasts from delivery of the placenta until 6 weeks after delivery. Ofcourse all maternalA Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya17 31. Review of Literature adaptations during pregnancy do not necessarily subside completely by 6 weekspostpartum42. For the purpose of proper management this period can be divided into an43,44 1. Immediate Puerperium2. Early Puerperium3. Remote PuerperiumImmediate Puerperium - It includes the first 24 hours after delivery, the stage of acutepost partum period.Early Puerperium - It is the period of first week after delivery.Remote Puerperium - It starts from second week to six weeks post-delivery.Following delivery, when the endocrine influences of the placenta are removed,the physiological changes of pregnancy are reversed and the body tissues, especiallypelvic organs, return to their previous state.POSTPARTUM CHANGES45,46,47 ,48Changes in UterusInvolution of The UterusThe principal changes of puerperium is uterine involution. Immediately afterdelivery uterus weighs 1000gms and comes up to the level of umbilicus (about 24 weekspregnancy size). Within 10 days of delivery the uterine fundus will disappear below thesymphysis pubis. It is aided by oxytocin release and shrinks to around 50 60 gms inweight51. The puerperial uterus on section appears ischemic when compared with thereddish purple hyperemic pregnant organ.The process of involution is affected byA Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya18 32. Review of Literature 52autolysis , where the protein of the uterine musculature is broken down into simplercomponents, which are then absorbed and excreted in the urine53.During the first week of post partum involution is up to the level of pubicsymphysis. There is approximately 34% decrease in uterine size (1.25cm per day). Bysecond week uterus usually returns to the pelvis. In the second and third week there is48% decrease in uterine size and the rest of the 18% reduction in size occurs after thethird week. The involution changes are due to a reduction in the length and overall sizeof muscles49,50.After delivery, the endometrial surface of the uterus is thick and rough especiallyover the placental site. The decidua is cast off as a result of ischaemia and is lost as thelochial flow which usually clears completely within 4 weeks of delivery. There are nodecidual cells seen at 6 weeks postpartum. New endometrium will grow from the basalareas of the deciduas53. The markedly thinned out, flabby, collapsed lower uterinesegment contracts and retracts but not as forcefully as the body of the uterus. Over thecourse of a few weeks, it is converted into uterine isthmus.Lochia54,55,56 It is the discharge, which escapes from the genital tract during the first 3 to 4 weeksof puerperium. It consists of sloughed decidua.Lochia Rubra: This occurs for 1 to 4 days. It is red in colour and consists of blood,fetal membranes, deciduas, vernix caseosa, epithelial cells, bacteria and meconium.Lochia Serosa: It is yellowish initially, then brownish in colour and lasts for next 5 to 9days. It consists of fewer RBCs more leucocytes, wound exudates, mucous from thecervix and micro organisms (anerobic streptococci and staphylococci), the presence ofbacteria is not pathogenic unless associated with clinical signs.A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya19 33. Review of Literature Lochia Alba: This is white in colour and lasts for 10 to 15 days after lochia serosa hasdisappeared. It consists of plenty of dicidual cells, leucocytes, mucus, crystals, granularepithelial cells and micro organisms.The lochia has fishy odour and is alkaline, tending to become acidic towards theend. During the first 5 to 6 days the amount secreted is 250 ml, It is excessive indeliveries following multiple gestation, hydramnios and big babies. It is scanty inpreterm deliveries.Changes in The Cervix 57,58 After delivery, the cervical epithelium becomes very flaccid and thinner in thefirst 4 days, the outer cervical margin, which corresponds to the external os, is usuallylacerated, especially laterally. The cervical opening contracts slowly, and for a few daysimmediately after labour it readily admits two fingers. By the end of the first week it hasnarrowed, hence the cervix thickens and the canal reforms.At the completion of involution, however, the external os does not resume itsprepregnant appearance completely. It remains wider, with bilateral depressions at thesite of lacerations and remains as permanent changes that characterize the parous cervix.The cervical epithelium undergoes considerable remodeling; this complete re-epithelisation takes 6- 12 weeks.Vagina59-The over distended vagina, slowly returns to its prepartum shape around 3rd week.The reverting process is completed within 4-8 weeks. The tone of the vagina neverreturns back to virginal state.The increased venous congestion makes the mucosadelicate in this period. Even the vaginal rugasities reappear partially, introitus remainspermanently larger than virginal state. The lacerated, fibrosed healing hymen representsin the form of carunculae myrtiformes.Fallopian Tubes and Ovarian Functions60-A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya20 34. Review of Literature After delivery the low level of estrogen and progesterone will effect the increasednumber of tall nonciliated cells in the fallopian tubes. Their nuclei will extrude out,thickness of the cellular layer decreases, inflammatory changes are also seen.Elevated prolactin levels are the basis of anovulation in lactating mothers. As theovarian activity is suppressed, the resumption of menstruation may be delayed for manymonths. Other wise in non-lactating mother, ovulation can occur as early as 70-75 dayspostpartum with the resumption of menstrual period after 7 9 weeks.Pelvic Changes61,62,63For easy passage of the fetus, Even pelvic cavity increases in its width, thewideneing of the symphysis pubis and sacro-iliac joints are well observed. Afterdelivery the voluntary muscles of the pelvis and other pelvic supports slowly regain theirtone. Involution of muscles takes up-to 6-7 weeks, hence exercises should be postponedtill these stretched muscles come to their original state.Systemic Changes -Cardio Vascular System64,65,66 -Just after parturition, plasma volume decreases due to bleeding. Hematocrit valuesincreases by 5% and cardiac out put increases by 50%. Pulse rate is increased on the 1stday. On the 3rd day post delivery there is a shift from extracellular fluid into the vascularcompartment causing 900 to 1,200ml increase in intravascular volume. There is alsoslight increase in blood pressure in the first 5 days of puerperium. Ventricularhypertrophy of pregnancy resolves in about one year.Within 8 weeks after delivery the red cells volume returns to normal. The rapidloss of blood during delivery stimulates reticulocytosis (which is maximum at the 4thpostpartum day) and a moderate increase in the erythropoitin level during the first weekafter delivery. There is hyper activity of bone marrow during puerperium, prolactin alsoA Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya21 35. Review of Literaturestimulates bone marrow. Due to stress of labour there is marked leucocytosis, consistingespecially of granulocytes.Respiratory SystemS67 The oxygen consumption is increased during pregnancy and even in 7 14 daysafter delivery. The delivery of child has decreased the uterine size hence the diaphragmcomes down. The volume of lungs will increase which reduces the respiratory alkylosisand metabolic acidosis. The hypoapnea will also reduce. Decreasing level ofProgesterone is also responsible for the increased PCO2 in first week postpartum. Theoxygen saturation is increased to 95% during day one after delivery.Urinary System64,68,69,70During labour, the sustained trauma to the nerve plexus will make the bladderinsensitive to raised intravesicular pressure. The changes which occur in urinary tractduring pregnancy disappear in a similar manner as the involutional changes. Thebladder mucosa become oedematus, enlarged with increased capacity of urine. The overdistended bladder with incomplete emptying leads to significant amount of residual urine.Within 2 3 weeks the hydroureter and caliceal dilation of pregnancy is much lessevident. Diuresis occurs to get rid of excess of extracellular fluid accumulated duringpregnancy. Even there is mild proteinuria in immediate postpartum period which isnormal. And Pregnancy induced glycosuria disappears. Increased Glomerular FiltrationRate comes to normal by 8 weeks of puerperium and there is 25% increase in renalplasma flow.Metabolic Changes71Fatty acids (Total and non esterified) return to the prepregnancy level on thesecond post partum day. Plasma Triglyceride levels slowly fall to normal by 6-7 weeks.A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya 22 36. Review of LiteratureLactation does not affect the fatty acid levels. Blood sugar level falls below thepregnancy level on the 2nd and 3rd day after delivery due to an elevated renal threshold.Free plasma amino acids increase post-partum on 2nd or 3rd day. Hemodynamic Re-adjustment72,73 Delivery leads to obliteration or low resistence of uteroplacental circulation andresult in 10-15% reduction in the size of the maternal vascular bed. Loss of placentalendocrine function also removes a stimulus to vaso dilatation. This reduction of bloodvolume and venous tone which becomes normal with a significant decrease in deep veinsize and increase in uterine vascular resistance. There is increase in venous blood flowvelocity in lower limbs. A declining in blood volume with a rise in hematocrit is usually seen with in 3-5days after delivery. Hemoconcentration occurs if the loss of red cells is less than thereduction in vascular capacity. Hemodilution takes place in woman who loses 20% ormore of their circulatory blood volume at delivery.Table no 3 Shows Hematological Values in Puerperium Total BloodDecreases immediately Post Partum due to volume blood loss at deliveryPlasma volume Decreases immediately Post Partum due toblood loss at deliveryIncreases 3 days Post Partum due to shift ofextra cellular fluid into vesselsRBCsRBC production returns to normal levelsRBC count returns to normal by 8 weeks PPHb & HctImmediate decrease in Hb immediately PP dueto blood loss at deliveryHb levels stabilize by 2-3 daysHCT remains relatively stable immediately afterdeliveryHct returns to non-pregnant levels 4-6 weeks A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya 23 37.

After that a secondary increase in its leveloccurs which is maintained till the second week after parturition, after which a downword trend again starts for the next 7 to 10 days. These changes make the delivered women susceptible to thrombosis during thepuerperium. How ever a sharp return of normal fibrinolytic activity after delivery doesprevent this complication.A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya24 38. Review of Literature The clotting factors increased during pregnancy are used to provide a reserve tocompensate for their rapid utilization during delivery and also to achieve haemostasisafter delivery. A large deposition of fibrin occurs in the placental bed after the deliveryof the placenta. Thus there is a continous release of fibrin breakdown products from theplacental site.Weight Loss76,77,78Approximately 1013 kg weight is gained during pregnancy.There is animmediate loss of about 56 kg due to delivery of the infant, placenta, amniotic fluid andblood loss. At the end of 6 weeks most the mothers have lost the excess of 4-5 kgsweight due to excretion of fluids and electrolytes. At least 2 liters of fluid is lost withinthe first week and 1.5 liters in next 5 weeks after delivery.Factors that influence increased puerperial weight loss includes weight gain duringpregnancy, prime parity, early return to work. Of course breast feeding or maternal agewont affect weight loss.Hormonal Changes79 Placental hormone levels decline very fast following delivery.Human Placental Lactogen (HPL) - This has a half life of 20 min. No HPL can be seenin the maternal blood on the 1st day after delivery.Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) - This has a half life of 9 hrs. 48 to 96 hrsafter delivery the levels are below 1000 mu/ml and 7th day post partum they are less than100 mu/ml. It virtually disappears by the 11 16th day after delivery.Plasma 17 B Estradiol - The level falls to 10% of pregnancy value within 3 hours of the3rd stage of labour. By one week after delivery its lower level is achieved. Follicularphase level (>50 pg/ml) is reached earliest by 19 to 21 days after parturition in non-lactating women and by 60 80 days in lactating women. In latter, during the period ofA Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya25 39. Review of Literature lactational amenorrhoea the estrogen levels are less than 10pg/ml. Breast engorgementthat occurs 3-4 day after delivery is due to low estrogen levels (because high estrogenlevels suppress lactation)Progesterone - This has very short half life (in minutes) hence by 3rd post partum day,the levels are far less than 1ng/ml (luteal phase level).Prolactin (PRL)- During pregnancy prolactin level rises up to 200ng/ml or more. Thelevels rises in breast feeding mothers. With each suckling episode the level of prolactinraises up to 100ng/ml. Therefore the frequency of breast feeding has an important role inmaintaining the prolactin level.Serum FSH and LH -These levels during first 10 12 days after delivery are very low,irrespective of the status of lactation. After 12 days their levels increase, by the 3rd weektheir concentration is same as in follicular phase. Low level of FSH and LH in earlypuerperium is due to a reduced GnRH during pregnancy and the early post partumperiod.There is also reduction in the secretion of GnRH, Growth Hormone, Insulin,Thyroid Hormones and even the secretion of ACTH. There is relative normal or highlevel of these hormones during pregnancy, which reduces soon after parturition. Againall these levels are stabilized by 6-8 weeks of postpartum period.Lactation80,81The major physiological event of the puerperium is the establishment ofLactation. The humoral and neural mechanisms involved in lactation are complex.Progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, placental lactogen as well as prolactin appear to act inconcert to stimulate the milk secreting apparatus82,83.Mainly prolactin helps in milk production and oxytocin helps in ejection of milk.Release of prolactin acts upon the glandular cells of the breast to stimulate milk secretionand the second induces the release of oxytocin which acts upon the myoepithelial cells ofthe breast to induce the milk ejection reflex. This milk ejection reflex is mediated by theA Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya26 40. Review of Literature 85release of oxytocin from the posterior pituitary gland . It is readily inhibited by theemotional stress, maternal anxiety etc which frequently leads to a failure of lactation84. Both estrogen and progesterone are necessary for mammary development inpregnancy but prolactin, growth hormone and adrenal steroids may also be involved.During pregnancy only minimal amounts of milk is formed in the breast despite highlevels of the Placental lactogenic hormones and even prolactin. This is because theactions of these lactogenic hormones are inhibited by the secretion of high levels ofoestrogen and progesterone from the placenta and it is not until after delivery that copiousmilk production is inhibited85.The composition of breast milk varies according to the age of the baby and fromthe beginning to end of the feed. Colostrum is the breast secretion of the mother in thefirst few days after delivery. It is a deep yellow coloured thick serous secretion havinghigh specific gravity and alkaline reaction. contains high protein, vitamin A, sodium andchloride. More of antibodies (IgA, IgG, IgM), white blood cells and other anti infectiveproteins in cholestrum provides immunological defence to the new born. This colostrumalso has a mild purgative effect, which helps to clear the babys gut of meconium. Thisclears bilirubin from the gut and thus helps to prevent jaundice86.The milk secreted later is having more fat and lactose but less protein. The longchain poly unsaturated fatty acids present are important for neurodevelopmentalconsequences for the baby. ie, it helps in myelination of central nervous system.Facilitates absorption of calcium. The amino acids like taurine and cystein which areimportant neurotransmitters. Breast feedingprotects the infant against infection ie,prevents gastrointestinal illness (diarrhea), respiratory tract infections etc.The protective factors like IgA, Macrophages, lymphocytes, Complements andinterferon etc. present are very much important in this aspect87.Table no 4 shows Composition of colostrum and Breast milk88 Protein FatCarbohydrates WaterColostrum 8.6%2.3%3.2%86%A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya27 41. Review of LiteratureBreast milk 1.2%3.2%7.5% 87% The proteins present are lactalbumin, lacto globulins, lactoferrin and casein.Among carbohydrates mainly lactose along with glucose and galactose. Mainly triglycerides (olein, palmitin, stearin) in fats. Vitamins like B,C,D with abundance of Vitamin A and exception of Vitamin K. There is no doubt that breast milk is the ideal nutrition for the New born baby.Highly nourishing, easily digestible and immunizingcontents in mothers milknecessitates the exclusive breast feeding during first 6 months of neonatal life. A healthymother will produce about 500 800ml of breast milk a day to feed her infant with about500kcal/day. In well established lactation, it is possible to sustain a baby on breast milkalone for 4-6 months. This requires about 600 k cal / day for the mother which must bemade up from the mothers diet or from her body store. For this purpose a store of about 5kg of fat during pregnancy is essential to make up any nutritional deficit during lactation. Breast feeding accelerates the process of uterine involution in mother89, reducingthe chances of post partum hemorrhage, Improves post partum weight loss90,Inexclusively breast fed mothers it provides 98% protection against pregnancy for first 6months. It also lowers the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer91. Lactation or breastfeeding or nursing the child - What ever the terminology it strengthens the psychologicalbonding between mother and the baby.Care of Puerperium 92,93,94,95 A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya 28 42. Review of Literature The care of a pregnant woman does not end with the delivery of the child and theconclusion of the 3rd stage of labour. Even pregnancy should be considered as a natural,physiological event, Management and care of the delivered lady is a must.So the main objectives of puerperial management are -To monitor the physiological changes of puerperium.To diagnose and treat any postnatal complications.To establish infant feeding.To give the mother emotional support.To advise about contraception and other measures, will contribute in continuingher health. Immediately following delivery, lady may be given a drink or something to eat ifshe is hungry. Close monitoring of general health (BP, Pulse, Temperature, vaginalbleeding, P/A size of the uterus etc) of the lady and adequate bed rest is must.Roomingin, ie, keeping the infant with the mother, is very important, it builds up the parent-infantbonding.New mother is made ease by proper care of vulva, episiotomy wound, breast andnipple care. Proper feeding methods, care of bowel and bladder are advised. The lady ismoved out of bed with in 48hrs of post partum. By early ambulation, she feels strongerand better, Bladder complications leading to catheterization and even complaints ofconstipation are less frequent. Adequate fluid intake, liberalization of nourishing andfiber rich diet is necessary to prevent constipation. Bladder is to be emptied by thepatient as frequently as possible. Proper aseptic care, perineal wound dressing, observing the involution of uterusand lochial discharge is a part and parcel of the puerperial management. For all thesenecessary care and advice a minimum of 3-5 days of Hospital stay is needed. Correctionof anaemia in puerperial women is done by supplementation of iron therapy ie, ferrousA Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya29 43.

After pains in puerperium may need the help of analgesics97.Post Natal Exercises98,99,100 Post natal postures and exercises must be taught for better puerperialrehabilitation. Softness of elastic ligaments and collagenous connective tissue persists for4-5 months after delivery. The abdominal muscles are stretched and elongated duringpregnancy. Hence entire abdominal wall is weakened.If the back is not properly held (incorrect postures during lifting weight) it isvulnerable to injuries. The pelvic floor is also weakened during pregnancy duecontinuous support of the gravid uterus, stretching and trauma during delivery. Theperineum is stretched and sometimes may have tears or episiotomy. Hemorrhoids maycause severe pain; legs may be painful or swollen.The management starts with breathing exercises and free hand movements of thebody parts. Deep breathing is helpful for relaxation and improving circulation.Movement of the foot, ankle and leg also improve circulation. Proper Postures, lactatingmethods are important in prevention of future back ache etc. Correct postures itself willtone up the back muscles.Pelvic floor exercises are must and to be started as early as possible. Repeatedcontraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles will help in regaining the tone andelasticity. Abdominal muscle exercises are essential to regain the size of over stretchedmuscles. And to prevent divarication of recti. For this lady should lie in dorsal position,with knee flexed, abdominal muscles are contracted and relaxed alternatively. Again sheshould lie on her face, then head and shoulders are slowly moved up and down. Theprocedure is to be repeated 3-4 times a day. These Exercises should be continued for atleast 3 months.A Comparative clinicall study of Dashamoola Jeeraka kashaya and Panchakolakashaya in Suthika Paricharya30 44.
