Abstract
The experience of motherhood is most unique as well as challenging phase in life of every woman. For a woman, the birth of baby can boost a jumble of powerful emotions from happiness, excitement and exhilarating to sadness, fear and exhausting. During this phase of her journey, she is in need of proper care, support and guidance in order to cope-up with her new identity of motherhood. But due to fast changing life style of modern era and increase in isolated families, she is deprived of this necessary attention during her crucial postpartum time. So, in the absence of adequate rest, balanced nutrition and moral support sometimes, a mother can be harsh in a way that she has never dreamed off by developing signs and symptoms of postpartum depression. It can shatter her body, mind and spirit. In today’s date, one out of every eight woman is prone to postpartum depression. The Ayurvedic science is holistic approach to physical and mental health care of mother and baby. The principles stated in the classics not only manage postpartum depression but also it does not allow a woman to land-up in this phase.
