“Laugh Your Way to Good Health with Ayushakti Ayurved’s Tips for Safe Motherhood”
Hello there, fellow moms and moms-to-be! Did you know that April 11th is National Safe Motherhood Day? That’s right, and it’s the perfect time to celebrate motherhood’s joys and challenges and take a step towards better health for you and your little ones. And what better way to do that than with Ayurveda, the ancient Indian holistic healing science?
Motherhood is a special and joyous experience for women, but it comes with risks and challenges. National Safe Motherhood Day is observed every year on April 11th in India to raise awareness about the importance of safe motherhood. This day provides an opportunity to reflect on the challenges that women face during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum periods and to take action to promote maternal health.
The theme for National Safe Motherhood Day 2023 is yet to be announced. NSM Day emphasizes the importance of ensuring all women have access to quality maternal healthcare services, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location. This year’s focus is on promoting equity in maternal health by addressing the disparities in access to maternal health services and improving the quality of care for all women.
Reducing maternal mortality rates is one of the biggest challenges in ensuring safe motherhood. Thousands of women die yearly due to pregnancy and childbirth complications. Many of these deaths are preventable, and improving access to maternal health services is crucial in reducing maternal mortality rates. This includes ensuring women have access to skilled birth attendants, emergency obstetric care, and other essential maternal health services.

Another important aspect of safe motherhood is promoting maternal health during the postpartum period. This is a critical time for both the mother and the newborn, and ensuring that women receive appropriate postpartum care is crucial in promoting the health and well-being of both. This includes ensuring that women have access to postpartum check-ups, breastfeeding support, and mental health support, among other services.
At Ayushakti Ayurved, we believe that laughter is the best medicine, and we know that motherhood can sometimes be stressful. So, let’s start with a good laugh, shall we? Here are some funny and relatable situations that we know all moms can relate to:
- When your toddler insists on feeding themselves, you end up with more food on the floor than in their mouth.
- When you finally get a chance to take a shower, your baby starts crying as soon as you step into the bathroom.
- When you try to sneak in a nap while your baby is sleeping, your neighbour decides to mow their lawn at that exact moment.
- When you’re out with your kids, and someone asks if they’re all yours, you have to resist the urge to say, “No, I just collect children.”
Sound familiar? We thought so. Now, let’s talk about some Ayurvedic tips for safe motherhood:
Eat Right:
As a new mom, nourishing yourself with healthy, balanced meals is important. Ayurveda recommends foods that are easy to digest, such as cooked vegetables, grains, and soups. Avoid spicy, fried, or processed foods, which can aggravate your digestive system and cause discomfort.

Detox should not be done during pregnancy. One can have detox before planning pregnancy or after delivery, so it will clean the toxins and balances the doshas. This will be helpful in conception, during pregnancy and with mother and child’s health.
Detox is the Ayurvedic cleansing process for body, mind and emotions that helps you to create holistic health and well-being in your life. Digestive impurities such as mucus and metabolic
toxins pile up in the veins, intestine, liver and joints. They circulate throughout the entire body and block the system. Continuous build-up of these impurities can cause physical and mental disorders and disease. A Detox helps to clean out toxins. Marma points help to remove blockages and improve circulation.
