The main aim of ayurveda is “swasthasya swaasthya rakshanam aaturasya vikara prashamanam cha”. Regimens like Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Sadvrutta are explained in our classics to maintain health of the individual. In the same way Ayurveda has also given importance to protect & strengthen woman at every stage of her life with respect to Rajaswalacharya, Garbhini Paricharya & Sutika Paricharya. Acharya Kashyapa explains the stage of Prasava as one of the difficult processes where one foot of the woman is situated in this loka and other in yama loka . During sutika avasta there is vitiation of vata , agnimandya, immunity & strength of the mother becomes weak hence she is more prone to diseases. Therefore care and management of woman is important.
