Post-C-section water retention and belly bloating are common, but they can be managed with the right approach. Since you also have high BP and a sedentary job, it’s important to focus on gentle movement, a balanced diet, and natural ways to reduce fluid retention.
Drink More Water: Sounds counterintuitive, but dehydration worsens water retention. Aim for 2-3 liters of warm water daily.
Reduce Salt Intake
Avoid sugar processed foods, pickles, canned foods, and excess table salt.
Include coconut water, barley water, coriander water, cucumber, lemon, and fennel tea to flush out excess fluids.
Drink jeera (cumin) and ajwain (carom) water in the morning
Since you sit a lot, try standing leg lifts, side bends, and arm circles every 1-2 hours.

After a C-section, recovery can take time, especially with water retention, high BP, and a sedentary job. Here's a safe and balanced approach for your condition:
For detoxification
Trifla powder 1/2 tsf with leukworm water at night
Punarnava tab 1 twice a day
Include these in your diet:
Barley (Yava) kanji or porridge
Cooked bottle gourd (lauki), ridge gourd, pumpkin
Moong dal khichdi with ghee (light on digestion)
Fresh coriander and parsley (natural diuretics)
Buttermilk with roasted jeera and rock salt post-lunch
Avoid: Cold water, curd at night, fried/oily food, white bread, sugar, and high-sodium snacks
Do bhramari pranayam

After undergoing a C-section, it's not uncommon to experience water retention and inflammation. In Ayurvedic terms, this can be associated to imbalances in vata and kapha doshas. Addressing this, along with your high BP, requires a holistic approach. Let's explore some ways we can tackle this.
First, diet plays a crutial role. Incorporate foods that are light and easy to digest — think about cooked vegetables, soups, and moong dal. Avoid salty and fried foods, as they contribute to water retention. Favor warm spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric to improve digestion and help reduce inflammation. It's also beneficial to drink warm water throughout the day, which can help flush out excess fluids.
Your job's sedentary nature may exacerbate the situation, so try to incorporate gentle exercises or stretches during breaks. Simple yoga poses like pavanamuktasana (wind-relieving pose) or gomukhasana (cow face pose) can be very beneficial in relieving bloating and enhancing circulation.
For stress management — crucial considering your high blood pressure — consider regular practices like meditation or deep-breathing exercises. Pranayama, specifically anulom vilom (alternate nostril breathing), can help balance vata dosha and manage stress.
Herbal remedies can also offer support. Include herbs like punarnava, which is well-known for its diuretic properties and can aid in reducing water retention. But do ensure to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any herbal regimen.
Lastly, try to keep a routine where you eat, sleep, and exercise at regular intervals; this helps in maintaining balance in your body's rhythm. And remember, while managing high BP, moderation in salt intake is key.
Always consult with your primary healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner to make sure these suggestions are suitable for your condition, especially given the complexities of post-surgical recovery and hypertension. Remember, healing is a journey, and patience is, indeed, a virtue on this path!
