In Ayurveda, ghee is considered one of the most nourishing and healing substances, and during the postpartum period, it becomes pure gold.
Why I love it for new mothers:
Deep nourishment: Ghee rebuilds strength from the inside out. It replenishes ojas, your vital life essence, helping you feel grounded, stable, and radiant again after birth.
Kindles digestion: After birth, digestion is often weak or sensitive. Ghee gently rekindles your digestive fire, helping your body absorb nutrients and heal efficiently.
Lubricates and soothes: Internally and externally, ghee supports moisture and lubrication, easing dryness, tension, and stiffness.
Nourishes the nervous system: Warm ghee calms vata dosha, the energy of movement and change that’s heightened after birth. It supports better sleep, emotional balance, and a sense of safety in your body.
Postpartum is a time to return to softness — and ghee is a perfect ally for that journey.
How to use it:
Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of organic, grass-fed ghee daily in meals and in tea the first 4 to 6 weeks after birth.
Drizzle it over warm rice, stir into herbal milk, or use in postpartum recipes.
