‘Sutika’ is the Ayurvedic terminology for the woman after childbirth. During this period which is called the Puerperium the pelvic organs revert to pre-pregnant state both anatomically and physiologically. During the Puerperium period the involution of the internal body structures to be happened properly and the debilitated body strength needs to come back, and proper nourishment needs to be achieved for the health of the mother as well as the child through healthy and adequate breast milk production.
