Benefits of VethuKuli

After delivery, the Vata dosha in the female body gets aggravated and causes various distress. Suppose the aggravated Vata dosha is not treated. In that case, it leads to different pain types and poorer recovery rates. As per Ayurveda, childbirth causes an imbalance in the various doshas of the body as a large gap is created in the womb that was once occupied by the fetus.

The child is a vigorous process and needs much exertion, which excites Vata. The vitiated Vata occupies the vacant space in the body and occupies the womb.Through vethuKuli, the aggravated Vata dosha returns to normal as we use Vata pacifying herbs to prepare the water.
