Right now, as you cradle new life within you or in your arms, you may feel a storm of emotions. Joy, yes – the kind that swells your heart until you think it might burst – but also exhaustion, uncertainty, even fear.
I write to you today as a mother who has walked this path, to tell you: that you are not alone in feeling this way.
The Silent Legacy of Generations
Our mothers and grandmothers bore so much in silence. They didn’t have the space to say, “I’m tired,” or “I need help.”
That silence became a legacy — an emotional burden quietly passed down.
But my dear daughter — you can break that cycle.
Every time you say, “I’m overwhelmed,” or “Can someone help me?” — you are speaking for all the women who couldn’t.
The Indian Way of Motherhood — Rooted in Nourishment & Love
For centuries, Indian culture has honored new mothers like queens — with ajwain laddoos, panjiri, jeera water, warm oil massages, belly wrapping, and more.
These are not old wives’ tales — they are powerful symbols of care passed from generation to generation.
If you’re wondering how to care for a new mom, this letter offers heartfelt and real-life answers.
Postpartum care in Ayurveda is essential, and Nuskha’s mission is to bring this deep wisdom to today’s mothers.
Don’t Forget Yourself, Mom
In caring for your baby, don’t forget to care for yourself. You created life. You are both warrior and sanctuary.
Allow yourself to rest, to cry, to receive help, to laugh. You are doing your best, and that is more than enough.
A healthy, happy mom is the greatest gift you can give your child.
Feel Every Emotion — Without Shame
One moment you may gaze at your baby with overwhelming love, and the next you may cry because everything has changed.
This is normal. Be as kind to yourself as you are to your baby.
Why I Started Nuskha
I created Nuskha because I saw how modern life was letting ancient postpartum care slip away.
I wanted mothers to feel deeply cared for, with remedies rooted in tradition but shaped for your modern needs.
Every laddoo, every oil, every herb is a quiet message: “Dear, we’ve saved this for you.”
