Taking Dasamoolarishtam and Jeerakarishtam can definitely support postpartum recovery, but it’s essential to be cautious especially while breastfeeding. Both these Ayurvedic formulations are typically considered safe, but you should consult with your healthcare provider to ensure they’re suitable for your specific situation.
Dasamoolarishtam is traditionally used to combat fatigue and support physical recovery after delivery. It’s known to aid in strengthening tissues and improving energy. On the other hand, Jeerakarishtam is great for improving digestion and reducing bloating, which many new mothers find beneficial.
Now, when it comes to dosing, it’s advisable to take these formulations after meals. Typically, 15 to 30 ml of Dasamoolarishtam or Jeerakarishtam mixed with an equal amount of water is recommended two times a day, but consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice. Starting just with one, like Dasamoolarishtam, might be a good way to see how your body responds before adding the other.
About weight gain—these preparations are not generally linked to weight gain but they can improve appetite which might indirectly affect weight if dietary intake isn’t balanced. Maintaining a nutritious, mindful eating routine is crucial.
As for the lower back pains, Dasamoolarishtam can help there thanks to its focus on the vata dosha which affects circulation and joint comfort. However, don’t overlook gentle exercises or yoga to support muscle recovery.
But please remember, everyone is unique, and what works for one may not work for another, so take others’ experiences with a grain of salt. Talk to your doctor or yes, even a knowledgeable Ayurvedic doctor to find the best approach for you. Stay patient with your body’s process of healing; it took nine months to grow a baby, so realign expectations for recovery to be gradual, too!
