Dashmool for postpartum recovery:
The 42-day postpartum window is not just about recovery — it’s about rebuilding strength, balance, and emotional resilience. In Ayurveda, few formulations are as central to this sacred phase as Dashmool.
Derived from “Dasha” (ten) and “Mool” (roots), Dashmool is a classical Ayurvedic combination of ten roots, known for their deep Vata-balancing and anti-inflammatory properties. For postpartum mothers, Dashmool acts as a gentle, yet potent ally in healing.
Why Vata Needs Attention After Childbirth
According to Ayurveda, childbirth increases Vata dosha — the element of air and space. This manifests as:
- Lower back pain
- Dryness
- Fatigue
- Anxiety or restlessness
- Weak digestion
Dashmool for postpartum recovery works by grounding this excess Vata, supporting:
- Uterine involution
- Joint and muscle pain relief
- Nervous system calming
- Restoration of Agni (digestive fire)
Benefits of Dashmool for Postpartum Recovery
- Reduces inflammation in pelvic and abdominal regions
- Eases muscular soreness and backache from delivery
- Supports lactation when paired with galactagogues
- Promotes natural detox of lochia and retained fluids
- Rejuvenates the reproductive system
How to Take Dashmool Post Delivery
- Prepare a Dashmool Kwath: Boil 5–10g in 200ml water, reduce to 50ml
- Take warm, once or twice daily
- Can be enhanced with ghee or a pinch of trikatu if digestion is weak
- Or use Dashmool in capsule form (as in Matrcare’s postpartum kit)
Always consult an Ayurvedic physician for personalized dosage.

Whether taken as a kwath (decoction) or in modern capsule form, Dashmool for postpartum recovery is a gift of classical wisdom every new mother deserves.
Final Thought
Healing after birth isn’t just physical — it’s energetic. And Ayurveda knew this well. Through Dashmool, you’re not just treating symptoms — you’re tending to your deeper self.
