Ayurveda beautifully reminds us that a mother’s recovery after childbirth is as sacred as pregnancy itself. The body, mind, and soul need rest, warmth, and nourishment. That’s why the first forty days post-delivery are often called the foundation of lifelong health.
During this period, food becomes medicine, and traditional Ayurvedic recipes offer the perfect balance of nutrition and healing.
Let’s explore five Ayurvedic foods that every new mom should include in her post-pregnancy diet.
1. Gond Laddu – The Energy & Strength Booster
One of the oldest postpartum superfoods, Gond Laddu is made with edible gum (gond), wheat flour, dry fruits, and pure ghee. Gond helps strengthen bones and joints, combats fatigue, and gives warmth to the body, essential for postpartum recovery.
Rich in protein, iron, and calcium, it’s not just a sweet but a traditional energy bar that fuels new moms through sleepless nights and long feeding sessions.
Nuskha Tip: Have one laddu daily with warm milk for improved stamina and inner strength.
2. Lodh Panjiri – The Uterus Restorer
Made with Lodh bark, this Ayurvedic blend supports uterine healing and balances body temperature (taseer) after delivery. It also helps reduce inflammation, manage postpartum bleeding, and restore reproductive health.
Lodh Panjiri combines the goodness of herbs, nuts, and ghee, making it a wholesome postnatal meal.
Nuskha Tip: Take 1–2 spoons of Lodh Panjiri after meals for smoother recovery and digestion.
3. Dashmool Kaadha – The Root of Rejuvenation
In Sanskrit, Dashmool means “ten roots.” These powerful herbs work together to rejuvenate the body from within. It improves digestion, supports the nervous system, reduces postpartum body aches, and balances hormones.
This natural decoction detoxifies the system and helps new mothers feel calm and grounded.
Nuskha Tip: Sip warm Dashmool Kaadha once daily for deep relaxation and internal balance.
4. Jeera Herb Mix – The Natural Lactation Support
Jeera (cumin) is known in Ayurveda for its digestive and lactation-boosting properties. Combined with herbs like ajwain and saunf, it becomes a powerhouse that improves milk production, reduces bloating, and regulates body temperature.
The Jeera Herb Mix is one of the most trusted Ayurvedic ways to enhance milk flow naturally.
Nuskha Tip: Mix half a teaspoon in warm water or milk twice a day for visible results.
5. Panchmool Oil – The Body Strengthener
While food heals from within, oil nourishes from the outside. Panchmool Oil is a blend of roots and herbs that strengthen bones, relieve pain, and restore joint flexibility. Massaging this oil helps the body regain energy and releases accumulated stress from delivery.
Nuskha Tip: Gently massage with warm Panchmool Oil before a bath to ease pain and relax the body.
