Hi Fathima, Thanks for reaching out! I get that post-partum recovery can be pretty tough. What you’re going through is super common, especially around 3-6 months after giving birth.but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
YOUR CONCERN
–You’re 4 months post-partum. –Your main issues are bad constipation, a painful anal fissure, and soreness in your joints and heels. –You also feel weak and tired, even though you’re mentally okay.
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
After giving birth, your body often deals with:
–Vata getting out of whack This is because of blood loss, the strain of delivery, and general dryness. –Tissue depletion: Your body’s just used up a lot of its stores. –Weak digestion: This leads to constipation. –Dryness: Which makes fissures worse. –Vata settling in your joints: Causing that joint and heel pain.
So, any treatment needs to: –Calm Vata. –Help your fissures heal gently. –Build up your strength. – Avoid making things too dry or trying to detox too hard.
Now, about your question: Can you take Mustadi Marma Kashayam and Nadi Kashayam?
A big NO to both right now.
They’re just not the right fit for you post-partum.
Here’s why: They’re both strong medicines that reduce Vata and Kapha, but they’re also very drying. This means they could: –Make your constipation worse. – Increase dryness, making your fissure even more painful. – Drain your strength further.
These types of medicines are usually for things like obesity, swelling, internal toxins, or nerve problems, not for the weakness you feel after having a baby.
So, what is safe and better for you?
For constipation and fissures: –Gentle medicines that help Vata flow correctly and soften your stools. –Lots of internal oils (known as Sneha) are really important. –Healing care for the fissure, nothing that dries it out.
For joint and heel pain: –An Ayurvedic approach to calm Vata after delivery. –Support from oils, both inside and out. –Nutrients that act like calcium in Ayurveda.
For strength: –Medicines that build you up and help with post-natal recovery. –The right diet and oil treatments are key.
To figure out your exact medicines and doses, we’d need to know:
* Are you breastfeeding? * How much do you weigh? * What’s your appetite and digestion like? * How did you give birth (normal or C-section)?
INTERNAL MEDICATION ( safe with breastfeeding)
1.Triphala Churna 1 tsp with warm water at bed time ( for constipation) 2.Dhanwanthram vati 1-0-1 after food ( for pain) 3.cap ksheerbala 1-0-1 after food ( for strength)
DIET and DAILY CARE (THIS IS CRITICAL!)
✅ DO THIS:
* Drink only warm water. * Eat ghee every day with your food. * Stick to soft, freshly cooked meals. * Get enough sleep.
❌ AVOID:
* Dry foods (like biscuits, bread, baked goods). * Cold drinks. * Too much tea or coffee. * Holding in your stools.
LOCAL CARE:
–Gentle warm chinchadi oil massage on your joints and heels. –Sitz bath with warm water for fissure relief.
At 4 months post-partum, your body needs to be nourished, moisturized, and to have Vata calmed down. It definitely doesn’t need to be dried out or hit with strong medicines.
So, yes, skip the Mustadi Marma Kashayam and Nadi Kashayam for now.
With the right Ayurvedic plan for after birth, you can totally get rid of the constipation, fissures, joint pain, and weakness safely.
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
AT FOUR MONTHS POSTPARTUM YOUR BODY IS STILL IN A RECOVERY AND NOURISHMENT PHASE SO MEDICINES MUST SUPPORT STRENGTH BOWEL MOVEMENT AND HEALING AND SHOULD NOT BE TOO DRYING
MUSTADI MARMA KASHAYAM CAN BE TAKEN BUT ONLY ONCE DAILY AS IT IS MAINLY FOR JOINT PAIN MUSCLE PAIN AND NERVE RELATED ISSUES AND IF TAKEN IN HIGH DOSE IT CAN WORSEN CONSTIPATION
NADI KASHAYAM IS MORE DIGESTIVE FOCUSED BUT IN YOUR CONDITION SEVERE CONSTIPATION FISSURE PAIN HEEL PAIN AND WEAKNESS INDICATE DRYNESS AND TISSUE DEPLETION SO BOTH KASHAYAMS TOGETHER ARE NOT ADVISED INITIALLY
YOU MAY TAKE
MUSTADI MARMA KASHAYAM FIFTEEN ML WITH EQUAL WARM WATER ONCE DAILY AFTER LUNCH
GANDHARVA HARITAKI CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER OR WARM MILK FOR CONSTIPATION AND FISSURE RELIEF
ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY WITH WARM MILK FOR STRENGTH AND JOINT SUPPORT
LOCAL APPLICATION OF PLAIN GHEE AT NIGHT AROUND THE ANAL AREA HELPS FISSURE PAIN AND HEALING
IF YOU ARE BREASTFEEDING OBSERVE THE BABY FOR ANY DIGESTIVE CHANGE AND ADJUST DOSE IF REQUIRED
ONCE BOWELS BECOME REGULAR AND PAIN REDUCES THEN NADI KASHAYAM CAN BE INTRODUCED
THIS APPROACH IS SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE IN POSTPARTUM RECOVERY AND WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE CONSTIPATION PAIN AND OVERALL STRENGTH
About Mustadi Marma Kashayam & Nadi Kashayam - Mustadi Marma Kashayam: Traditionally used for Vata‑Kapha disorders, joint pain, stiffness, and weakness. - Nadi Kashayam: Often prescribed for nerve pain, musculoskeletal issues, and circulation. - Both are Vata‑pacifying decoctions, so they can help with joint pain and weakness. 👉 However, for postpartum constipation and fissure, these kashayams are not the primary choice.
