Just like Chinese and Malays cultures, Indian population also give much emphasis on postpartum period and confinement care. Traditionally, Indians believe that confinement period lasts for 40 days. This is the period where new mothers rest, rejuvenate and replenish and it is also the time for mother and baby to bond. In Ayurvedic medicine, confinement period is thought to be a sensitive time for mothers and special care should be given to postpartum mothers. Confinement care in traditional Indian culture involves care in various aspects, includes diet and nutrition, warming massage and bath, belly binding, care of the newborn, and care for postnatal depression.
Confinement period is the time when the digestive system of new mothers is still weak hence, Indian confinement emphasize strongly on simple, digestible foods. Confinement diets are designed with the aim to increase breastmilk production, strengthen the back and reproductive organs, and avoid ‘cooling food’. In addition, several herbal drinks are also recommended to promote healing, boost their immunity, and improve milk supply. Traditionally, new mother is also given a series of Ayurvedic tonics like Sukumara kashayam to help in contraction of the uterus and pelvic area, Ajamamsa rasayanam for strengthening of the bones and muscles, also Dashamoola arishtam to boost immunity and increase breastmilk.
Mothers are also given hot oil massages daily to expel ‘wind’ in the body and promote blood circulation. Daily hot oil massage is done by ‘maushi’ or ‘dai’ with nurturing oil such as sesame, olive, coconut etc. Hot oil massage is usually followed by hot herbal bath using water boiled with Neem leaves. Then the tummy is tied with cotton sari or cloth. Belly binding is believed to be useful to push the uterus back in space, remove stomach wind, and reduce stretch marks.
Indian confinement care is more or less similar to Malay confinement care with more emphasis on the usage of spice to warm up the body.
