Mother's Guide To Wellness: 4 Simple Ayurvedic Habits For Healthy Living

Ask anyone about their favourite person in their life, and their answer would be MOTHER or MAA. Mothers have a special place in our lives. Our existence without them seems too sorrowful. May 11 is celebrated as International Mother's Day.

This day honours the love and contributions of all mothers. It is celebrated on the second Sunday of May each year. The theme of 2025 was ‘Beauty of Motherhood'.

Let's explore how Ayurveda adds to every mother's health and keeps them beautiful inside and outside.

Issues faced by Indian mothers

Indian moms face quite a few health troubles. Moms=-to-be and new mommies are especially at risk of malnutrition, infections, anaemia, pregnancy difficulties, postpartum depression, UTI, hypertension, and more.

Working mothers also have their share of health issues. Since pregnant women work for some time before getting maternity leave, they might face work-related stress, physical exertion, and lack of proper sleep, among other things.

As mothers grow old, they become prone to lifestyle diseases like diabetes, depression, hormone imbalance, and age-related ailments like arthritis, osteoporosis, and others.

Ayurveda becomes a natural and comprehensive solution for mother's to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Whether she is expecting, a new mom, or an ageing mother, Patanjali harnesses the power of Ayurveda to make products for mothers.

and warm herbal drinks too aid in digestion.

Hormonal imbalance: Pregnancy brings with it several hormonal changes that can leave a lasting impact on a women's health. This can be tackled with a good diet and regular exercises like Yoga.
