Post-Delivery Care Package (Sutika Paricharya)
A fully personalised postpartum recovery programme (Sutika Paricharya) combining Abhyangam, Kizhi, Kashaya Dhaara, Mukha Lepam, Sirodhara and Udara Veshtanam (abdominal wrapping). Tailored to your delivery type and breastfeeding needs after a free pre-package consultation. Enquiry only.
The Post-Delivery Care Package, traditionally known as Sutika Paricharya, is a fully personalised postpartum recovery programme spanning roughly the forty-five-day postpartum period. It is designed to nurture and restore the mother after childbirth, combining several core therapies that are tailored to her delivery type and breastfeeding needs.
During childbirth, a sudden emptiness in the pelvic cavity disturbs Vata Dosha, the digestive fire (Agni) weakens, and the body's tissues (Dhatus) are depleted. Left unmanaged, this imbalance can lead to chronic back pain, joint weakness, digestive issues, fatigue and postpartum anxiety — this care helps you heal correctly from the start.
Following a free pre-package consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor, the programme draws on customised core therapies including Abhyangam (oil massage), Kizhi (herbal poultice), Kashaya Dhaara (herbal decoction pouring), Mukha Lepam (herbal face pack), Sirodhara (head pouring) and Udara Veshtanam (abdominal wrapping). These are not all given on the same day; they are sequenced and tailored to support your recovery.
No two births are identical. A natural delivery has different immediate needs to a Cesarean section, where deep abdominal massage must wait until the incision heals. Your constitution (Prakriti), current imbalances (Vikriti), digestive strength and lactation needs are unique, so the oils, herbs, therapy durations and dietary guidance are customised to you.
Before starting, you'll have a free Pre-Package Consultation with our Ayurvedic Vaidya, which assesses your delivery type and any complications, your current vitals and healing progress, and your digestive capacity — ensuring every therapy is safely timed for you and your nursing infant.

The session, step by step
Free pre-package consultation
A free consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor assesses the mother's health, delivery type and breastfeeding needs to tailor the programme.
Personalised therapy plan
Based on your delivery type, healing progress and digestive strength, we tailor which therapies you receive and in what order — not all therapies are given on the same day.
Abhyangam and Kizhi
Customised oil massage (Abhyangam) and herbal poultice (Kizhi) help ease the body and relieve aches.
Kashaya Dhaara and Sirodhara
Herbal pouring (Kashaya Dhaara) and head pouring (Sirodhara) calm the nervous system and support rest.
Mukha Lepam
A herbal face pack (Mukha Lepam) is applied as part of the nurturing care.
Udara Veshtanam
Abdominal wrapping (Udara Veshtanam) supports the abdomen and helps tone the muscles.
This package is tailored individually, and a mandatory free pre-package consultation determines the safe herbs and therapies based on the mother's health and breastfeeding. It is generally avoided during acute illness or active infection. For this reason it cannot be booked online; an enquiry and a free consultation with our Ayurveda Vaidya come first.
