What is prasavaraksha?

In Kerala, prasavaraksha is a traditional approach to care after childbirth. It brings together care for the mother and baby, with the exact timing and recommendations considered individually by the doctor.

You may also see it written as “prasava raksha” or described as “postnatal Ayurveda care”.

At Aura Ayurveda, this includes massage and a medicated water bath for both mother and baby, as well as guidance and postnatal care for the mother. Recommendations are discussed after the doctor considers the mother’s and baby’s conditions.
