Postnatal Exercise

Always consult with your doctor or midwife before starting any postnatal exercise program. Whether or not you are ready to exercise depends on individual factors. For instance, you may be advised to wait until your six-week postnatal check-up. In other cases, especially if you were exercising regularly throughout your pregnancy, you may be able to return to exercise sooner than that – perhaps within the first week or two. If you had a caesarean birth, a difficult birth, or complications, it may take a little longer to feel ready to start exercising. If you did not exercise during pregnancy, start with easy exercises and slowly build up to harder ones. Keep in mind your lower back and core abdominal muscles are weaker than they used to be. Your ligaments and joints are also more supple and pliable, so it is easier to injure yourself by stretching or twisting too much. Avoid any high-impact exercises or sports that require rapid direction changes.

Benefits of Postnatal Yoga:

Helps maintain proper body shape after pregnancy, preventing sagging in the abdominal muscles
Decreases overall stress and promotes relaxation by increasing the levels of feel –good chemical in your brain (such as endorphin)
Rejuvenates the mind and increases energy
Releases tension in shoulders and neck muscles
Strengthens the back, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles
Improve your blood circulation
Reduce symptoms of postnatal depression
Promote weight loss

Yoga Asanas

1. Cow Face Pose:

Gomukhasana

Cow face pose is a challenging seated pose. It is a deep hip opener, as well as being famous for its difficulty to people with tight shoulders. Although it is a seated deep stretch pose, it is noted as being a restorative one as well, for its ability to allow you to sit and go inward in order to get a full muscle release.

How to: Cow Face Pose

Starting in a seated position, place the bent right knee on top of the bent left knee. Knees are trying to be perfectly stacked one on the other directly under your center (chin). Heels are equidistant from each hip. It is VERY important that you are fully plugged into the floor through both hips. If this is not possible, then prop your hips onto a blanket or a block to allow equal and even weight on both sit bones. If one hip is higher than the other you are starting the whole pose off crooked and this will dramatically change the back and shoulder position, causing potential harm. Before moving on to the arm position, be sure you can lift your sternum and achieve a flat tall spine.

Bring your left arm up to the sky. Bend the left elbow so the left palm rests on the upper back. Bring the right arm out to the side, palm facing back and thumb down. Bend the right elbow and move the right hand behind your back palm facing out. The right forearm will be parallel to the spine and the hand is between the shoulder blades. Next, try to hook the fingers together behind your back. Energetically lift your left elbow towards the ceiling keeping the elbow close to the left side of the head, and lower the right elbow toward the floor and closer to the body.

If it is not possible to connect your fingers, place a strap in the left hand. Let the strap hang behind your head and grab the other end with the right hand. Working the fingers closer and closer to each other until eventually they connect. Work on sitting straight and tall in the back, remembering that both hips remain in contact with the floor. It is easy to over stretch your left side (top arm side) and collapse your right side body, so try to keep both side bodies equally long. If you feel you can go deeper, fold from the hip joint
resting over the right thigh. Do not round your back.

The emphasis on this side is the right anterior shoulder; therefore this side will be more difficult for right handed people. This pose may be frustrating in the beginning; however the shoulders have a tendency to open quickly so stay focused and determined and results will come quickly.

Hold the pose for one to five minutes and then switch sides.

Benefits of Cow Face Pose:

Performed properly and consistently the benefits includes:

Deep stretch of hips, ankles, thighs, shoulders, armpit, chest, deltoid, and triceps
Aids chronic knee pain
Strengthens spine and abdominals
Helps decompress low spine (during folded variation)

2. Half Lord of the Fishes Pose

Ardha Matsyendrasana:

Ardha Matsyendrasana can be quickly understood by realizing that “ardha” means half, “matsyendra” means king of the fish in the Sanskrit language.

How to: Half-Fish Pose:

Begin by stretching your legs out in front of you and with your pelvis resting on the floor. Now twist your knees so that your feet are on the ground. Insert your left foot beneath the right hip. Now move your right foot over the left one so that it stands on the floor, pressing the inner arch and sole of the foot into the floor for the duration of each side of the pose. The right knee should now be pointing directly upwards at the ceiling.

Twist yourself inwards to the right thigh while exhaling. Place your right hand on the ground behind the right hip and place your left upper arm over your right thigh.

Push the right foot, which is placed inside, strongly in the ground as you release your groin. You may lean the upper torso slightly as you firm your grip into the floor with the help of your tailbone.

Now turn your head in either direction. You may go with the twist or can counter the twist with your head by looking over your shoulders.

Every time you inhale, try to push yourself up a bit with the help of your fingers. Every time you exhale, twist your body a little further. This twist should be well distributed along your body, including the side body, and not just your lower back. Remain in this position for 30 to 60 seconds, and end it by returning to the natural pose with exhalation.

Benefits of Half Lord of the Fishes Pose:

This is an advanced pose for effectively providing these benefits:

Stimulation of liver and kidneys, blood and lymph purification

3. Hero 1 Pose:

Virasana:

Pose of the hero may appear to be a regular position to watch TV or sit, however there are many particulars to executing this pose safely. It is a pose that requires proper attention and a strong foundation.

How to: Hero’s Pose:

Starting on your hands and knees slowly sit back onto your heels. The most important part of this pose is to constantly check that the tops of your feet are on the floor, bottoms of the feet are completely facing up. Try to have your thighs together, unless you feel strain in the knees, then, separate them accordingly. This is basically the entire pose, although there are many subtleties too. For some just sitting back on the heels can prove to be painful. If this is the case place a block on the floor between your feet and sit back on the block until you are secure and open enough to take it away. You want to get to the point where you can sit up nice and tall while sitting on the heels. Press the shins and tops of the feet into the earth and ground through the little toe side of the foot. Lift your rib cage evenly and lengthen through the crown of your head. Relax your shoulders. If you are extremely tight or are rehabbing from knee surgery then roll up a towel behind your knees and then sit back. This will reduce any risk of over flexion of the knee.

Rest your hands on your thighs and relax into your breath. If you have no pain in the knees and the ankles and shins are open and flexible enough, then move deeper into the pose by separating the feet gently roll the thighs inward and try to sit on the floor between your feet. It will take time and practice to deepen this pose. Try to remain tall and lifted and not round the back at all.

The role of Hero’s pose is vast. Done properly and consistently, the most noticeable benefits include:

Increases flexibility in hips, legs and knees

7. Bridge Pose:

Setubandhasana:

Bridge pose is classified as a backbend, however it should be considered as an assessment pose, as well as a great therapeutic pose. Bridge is a pose accessible to practitioners of all levels, and should not be overlooked by advanced yogis and athletes.

How to: Bridge Pose

Start by lying on your back. Knees bent, feet FLAT and hips width apart. Feet should also be parallel and the ankles directly under the knees. It is important to have the feet parallel to reduce pressure on your low back. When feet are turned out they close the space in the sacroiliac joint and create more stress on the joint than necessary. Begin to pelvic tilt and raise your hips off the floor, by pressing down through the feet and arms.

Once your hips are as high as they can get, snuggle your shoulders underneath your upper back and try to interlace your fingers under you. In time and with practice your fingers will be interlaced and arms will be extended fully on the floor, palms connected. If you have a tendency to hyperextend your elbows, be cautious here.

It is important that you get your shoulder blades under you as much as you can. The further they go under the more they lift your spine off the floor creating a canal underneath you. This canal lifts the spine from grinding into the floor. Cervical spine number 6 sticks out a little further than the rest so if you are not properly set up in this pose it is easy to bruise it or feel too much weight.

It is a help to put a light, soft block between your knees to aid your engagement of the inner thighs. It is also an amazing therapeutic pose if you put two blocks together, on their highest side directly under your sacrum, clasp your hands beyond the blocks and relax and release into the pose holding for minutes. Consider sometimes interlacing your fingers the opposite way than you usually do. This gets your shoulders slightly different and eliminates habit and stagnant practice.

In this pose you should feel a dynamic opposition of pressing down with your arms and feet and lifting the pelvis and chest. Try to get your chest to meet your chin. Press your shoulders down away from your ears.

Benefits of Bridge Pose:

The role of bridge pose is vast. Done properly and consistently, the most noticeable benefits include:

Strengthening the back, glutes, legs and ankles
Opening the chest, heart, hip flexors

Stimulates organs of the abdomen, lungs and thyroid

Start by lying on the ground with your back facing upwards. Your legs should be stretched out straight with the dorsum of the feet on the ground. Place your hands on the ground beneath the shoulders. Your elbows should be hugging your side-body waist.

Push into the ground with the help of your pubis, thighs and the dorsum of your feet.
Now inhale and slowly start to make your arms straight so that you can raise your torso off the ground. Push your tailbone deep into pubis so that you can lift your torso up to your navel. Your hips should be firm but not hard.

Puff out your side ribs by firming the shoulder blades. Do not push your front ribs outward; instead raise yourself through the height of the sternum. The bending of the back should be evenly distributed through your full spine.

11. Standing Forward Bend:

Uttanasana:

While this seems to be a very easy straightforward pose, there are several very specific ways to set yourself up in it. This pose takes time time time to see results, but they will come and you will prevail!!!!

How to: Standing Forward Bend

Start with your feet hips width apart. This alone is tricky, be honest with yourself while figuring out your hips width. The true distance is where your leg bone (femur) comes out of the hip socket, NOT where the outside of your fleshy hip is. Next, make sure your feet are parallel, they should resemble and 11. Everybody, no matter how advanced you are will start with their knees bent and chest resting on their thighs. You will keep this connection throughout the whole hold of the pose, once you disconnect the chest from the thighs you risk rounding and over stretching the back. When the knees are bent make sure your knees track directly over your toes for perfect alignment of the legs. Slowly, start to straighten your legs by lifting your hips straight up to the sky. Stop when you feel good resistance. Go far enough that you feel a deep stretch and not so far that you cannot breathe.

Keep your eyes open for best stability. You can keep your hands on the floor at first for the best balance or try to grab opposite elbow with opposite hand to get a nice deep hanging feeling. It is very important when you are relaxing in the pose that your weight is not far back in the heels but right in the middle of your foot. If all your weight is back it is like slamming the breaks on the optimum opening of the hamstrings. Stay here and breathe. Don’t be afraid to sway from left to right, or to bend and straighten the legs as you negotiate your way deeper and deeper in the hamstrings.

An amazing alternate way to do this pose that I teach my athletes is to approach it the same way however, face a wall, once in forward bend lean your back up against the wall. Here you will get a maximum opening while not being concerned with balance, therefore you can release fully. It’s hard but awesome!

For newcomers to yoga, Fire Log Square Pose is a great yoga pose to learn discipline and order in the sitting poses of yoga. If you find this yoga pose difficult to perform, you may keep in the mind the following tip: simply grip the thigh at your hip crease and rotate it outwards by force before you begin to bend forwards. This will help you in releasing your hip.

16. Frog Pose:

Mandukasana:

At first glance frog is as awkward as the striking angles it displays. Frog pose is not as common as down dog or warrior one, however its benefits have made it a staple in my teaching repertoire. It is perhaps one pose that actually looks just like its namesake.

How to: Frog

Begin in table pose, on your hands and knees. Make sure your hips are directly over your knees and your lower legs are parallel to each other. Lower down to your forearms and begin to slowly separate your knees as far as they can go.

From a side view your hip joint will be in the same line as your knee joint and your ankles will be directly behind your knees. Your toes will be facing out to the left and right respectively. Your knees hips and ankle joints will all be in 90 degree angles. Come to a depth where you can feel a significant stretch and still breathe comfortably. Try to relax your shoulders out of your ears.

It is particularly comforting to hold this pose with blocks under your chest and or pelvis. Once you release all your weight into the blocks your groin will let go notably. You can hold this pose starting at one minute and work up to a mind blowing 30 minute mental toughness experience.

Benefits of Frog Pose:

The role of frog is vast. Done properly and consistently, the most noticeable benefits include:

Opens the hip joint
Improves abduction
Strengthens the low back while opening hip
Helps digestion
Opening of hips reduces strain on knees

Mrs. Sudhaben Javia, 07/05/2008 - Rajkot

My son, Darsh Joshi was 4 years old, when we first consulted Dr. Pranjalin Kavar for ayurvedic treatment of his frequent cough and cold. After 3 months of Ayurvedic medicine, Darsh was fit and free from all symptoms of cough and cold, moreover he also developed adequate appetite and hence improved his body weight and health with nutritious food. We are continuing the medicine, as it has no side effects and 100% safe for all age groups.
Mr. Jatin Joshi (Dy. Manager – Commercial, Essar Oil Ltd.), 10/03/2007 - Jamnagar

We tried four expert gynaecologist doctors after 2 years of our marriage, as we did not get conceived after too many trials. At last we also went to Mumbai for expert advice and detailed reports in famous hospital. But there was no solution to our concern. One of my colleague suggested to go for Ayurvedic treatment and then we consulted Dr. Pranjalin Kavar with no hopes. But to our surprise, after interacting with her, she gave us confidence and faith in Ayurveda, not only that, she also took intense interest in our case and gave inspiration and trust in great God. What more we needed? In next 5 months of Ayurvedic treatment with controlled food and yoga, my wife got conceived! That was not over, even during pregnancy Dr. Pranjalin took extreme interest and care for Garbh Sanskaar. The weight of my wife grew from 38 kgs to 57 kgs with extremely good health. We are thankful and grateful to God, Ayurveda and Dr. Pranjalin.

After undergoing one missed ABORTION, I came to know that I am suffering from Infertility. I felt allopathy medicines would be harmful for long time and hence I thought of shifting to Ayurvedic Treatment. I came to know about Dr. Pranjalin from one of my friend for her expertise in Gynec related problems and successful solution with Ayurvedic Treatment. When I started her medicine, in just 4 months, I got unexpectedly great results! I never thought Ayurvedic treatment may be such effective in my life. All the reports started improving as if it had underwent any magic, and this resulted in developing my strong trust in Ayurvedic science, which earlier I never had. In those days, I started believing in the famous line “A doctor is as good as a God for patient”. In short, if I conclude in few words, I would say: “Dr.Pranjalin and Ayurvedic treatment has given an unbelievable solution to my problem of infertility. I am thankful to God for showing me this path in times when I needed it the most. Ayurvedic treatment is not merely a way of spending plenty of money, infact is actually saves money, in addition to effective and harmless solution to your problem”.

Ashwini Kumar - Collector of Junagadh

I am thankful to Dr. Pranjalin Kavar, for everything that I am having and enjoying today as a Mother of an unborn baby! It is an immense pleasure and eternal happiness to be a mother of my dream child. The credit goes the grace of god and ayurvedic science which has gifted me several things starting from my ovulation cycle till the last trimester of my pregnancy. Earlier I did not had adequate ovulation. Later when I consulted Dr . Pranjalin Kavar, my close aunty and one of the nearest family member, she gave me an idea and advice about the whole concept of MyDreamChild.com which looked amazing and unrealistic at first sight. To design your baby as per your wish and desire, is never before heard in real life except stories and some scifi movies. I also had some unseen fear about the painful and rigorous stages of pregnancy which I had heard from friends and family members and hence was afraid of the real time of my life when I used to imagine how hard my pregnancy time would be when I would have so many pains accompanying my baby. But to my surprise, after having the full course of MyDreamChild.com and personal consultation from Dr. Pranjalin, which started almost an year before my due date, it was like a ride through heaven. It may sound exaggerated, but in real the scenario was so different for me that it seemed to be a dream for me and too difficult to believe that I entered my first trimester so beautifully that I cannot express in mere words. As the time passed, the medicines kept changing accompanied with special Yoga and Music therapy to complete the whole course. I did not get a single pain or complexity which most of the pregnant women suffers, just due to the primary treatment of virechan (drinking pure ghee) and full body massage with special oil. This also helped me gain flexibility in muscles and relief from body aches. Apart from that Sanskrit literature and Music therapy gave pious vibrations to the inner soul of my baby which helped in grasping positive fundamentals and philosophy in the very primary stage of life. This makes me, as a mother, and my dream child, both, distinct from others where the motherhood is not by choice but by chance in the current hectic life and lifestyle. It also changed my perception towards my future life and gave me a satisfactory justification to the question "Why I am a mother and whats my role in making of my Dream Child?" I thank Almighty God to have such family, friends, society and Dr. Pranjalin to provide me and my dream child everything that was necessary and vital in addition to a pure and positive environment. I wish and recommend every unmarried as well as recently married couple to atleast once think over this age old gift from our ancestors but unfortunately diminished from society, the ayurvedic and spiritual way of planning the future and designing your dream child exactly as per your wish and characteristics without any chemical or surgical process. The ayurveda is one of the wonderful and logical science behind the concept of MyDreamChild.com. Wishing all moms a happy and prosperous motherhood ahead! Jai Hind!

It was quite difficult to agree my husband for virechan and all ayurvedik treatment. But when he had that and he got the results,he couldn't believe that those medicine were so effective.During my pregnancy, i was not having a single problem related to pregnancy like vomiting ,swelling etc. I was able to do all work even in 9th month of my pregnancy. i really enjoyed that time.And my baby also get the benefit of all that things.Her immunity is very strong.Even growth is also noticeable compared to other babies. All credit goes to Dr.Pranjalin Kavar. Me ,my husband and our family members are very thankful to her from bottom of our hearts.

And Dryness in my Eyes Due to which my life was disturbed and got off tracked. I could not concentrate on my routine activities, and my family. But thanks to the support and guidance provided by Dr. Pranjalin Kavar, she is very empathetic and understands the needs and requirements of her patient, her cool and calm approach in treating patient is incredible, not only she reacts well to the situation but she is extremely good in execution. Her knowledge about Aryurvedic medicines is awesome; she not only shares the vital and long term benefits of such medicines but strongly believes in diminishing such health problems from the root itself with the help of Aryuvedic medicines. She is blessed with some great staff members, as they are extremely supportive and assist you whenever required.

I do not miss an opportunity to spread a word of mouth about this beautiful ayurvedic treatments as it as help many of my family members and known relatives and they are extremely satisfied with such treatments. Thanks to Ayukalp Institution, Aryuvedic Treatments and Dr. Pranjalin Kavar

Krishna Jetpariya

I was a girl. After marriage I was enjoying my womanhood. While enjoying that duration suddenly a wish of being a mother aroused in me. But not like ordinary people, I wanted my child by choice not by chance. I wanted to do all the possible things I could for having a healthy and sanskari child. For that, first I had to be healthy and sanskari. I heard from my sister-in-law (Dr. Pranjalin) about Garbh Sanskar Treatment. I went for it. In Garbh Sanskar Treatment, firstly I had to perform my body cleaning process. During this process I had to take a little pain but the wish for being a mother made it enjoyable for me. I was enjoying all the treatment. As my body cleaning treatment was complete, I felt something new in myself. I felt energetic and also very light. We do clean our body while having bath form outside, but what about inside? God has set a system of internal cleaning, but we have spoilt that system very badly due to our eating habits and also due to the polluted environment. But with the Virechana treatment (Body cleaning process) this was possible, and felt healthier. During this treatment, most importance must be given to the diet. Your body, your nature, your behavior, everything is based on the diet of the person. I had to change my diet from my choice to my need and my expediency. I had a habit of eating only what tastes good, not what is nutritious. I loved chocolates and all products made of maida. But now I had to leave eating all those things. Slowly I felt changes in my body. My stomach problems were almost solved and my diet had also changed. After that, before conceiving baby, I was suggested to go for Nasaya. I was having new experiences daily. Now we had to proceed further for conception. I was excited to know that even during intercourse there are certain things to take care of. Perfection in all work give good results. This was what I had just heard. But even for conceiving a child you need perfect planning I was unaware of it. With God’s blessings and Garbh Sanskar treatment’s result I got the news that now I was expecting. During the pregnancy duration also I had to take many precautions. Precautions related to my thoughts. I had to keep my thoughts positive and strong too. Thoughts of the mother make direct effect on the child. Keeping this in mind, I started reading books. Reading during pregnancy must be systematic not disorganized. Systematic reading gives proper result. I was surprised to know that reading during pregnancy changes according to the time and growth of the baby. Along with religious books even knowledge books make a good impact on the baby’s mind. I followed the system. Even the diet changed as time went going. Finally the time of delivery was coming near. During labor pain also, due to proper planning and guidance I could bear the pain. Finally I delivered a child of my choice. I wanted a baby boy. God gifted me a healthy and fine baby boy. I was very happy and thankful to god. I was very satisfied with the treatment also. Finally my child was on this earth. He was very healthy and active. I am feeling very proud to say that it was the result of the treatment. On the fifth day after my child’s birth I found many good symptoms of activeness in him. My mother in law just held him standing straight; he lifted his foot and started moving further. It felt as if he was walking. Before time he started recognizing me. As I speak, he starts finding me and looks here and there to find out where my voice is coming from. As I call him he starts smiling as if he wants to talk to me. His schedule is also very nice. He takes proper sleep. He does feeding also properly and time to time. His schedule related to his stool passing and urine is also good. He is of two months now, touch black, but he has never cried due to stomach ache or any other pain problem. He takes proper sleep at night also. Not praising him, but I have never stayed awake for him. Even I can take proper sleep and stay fresh. And the best of all, my child started feeding the day of his birth itself. I got the benefit of doing exercise of my breasts. Milk had started flowing easily for my child. Now as days are passing, I find everyday something new in him. He is just one and a half month old and his activities are like of a five month old child. As we keep him straight he starts lifting his legs and starts walking. He climbs from stomach to chest to shoulder to the sofa corner and finally he climbs on the window and still finds place to climb up more. I feel glad to see him grow faster. He loves massage and also exercise. Even during his bath he did not cry he was really enjoying it. We named him Kartavya. I pray to God that all what I have done for my child’s health and sanskar do not go waste. Thinking positive, I know what all I have done for my child will bring good result but still I will try and will do the best, for my child as all mothers do. This was my experience till Kartavya became of two months.

We always believed in having a baby as a soulful journey rather than a mere outcome of a basic human need. Along with spiritual needs for having pious soul as a baby there was also a substantial need to follow a path as per the Hindu rituals and ancientand very scientific GarbhSanskar methods which provides guidance for physically, mentally and emotionally healthy child. Aayukalp has been one of the great helper in reaching this goal of ours. As a strong follower of Hindu Aaryuveda we were in a need for a friend and a knowledgeable person who could help us during our pre conception period to guide and get the right mixture of medicines and tonics required for a healthy and methodical conception.Dr. Pranjalinben has been guiding us in this endeavor of ours and her immense contribution shall remain unmatched. Needless to say Aayukalp has done it all. Patiently being part of the journey and a guide all through.

What can I say about Dr Pranjalin Kavar. To me, she came into my life as an ‘angel’, who comes, asks your wish and fulfills it. At the age of 41, it was only a dream for me to have a baby. With a medical history of diminished ovarian reserve, poor quality eggs, 3 IUIs, 2 IVFs and 2 miscarriages, the hope was very less. My brother pushed and convinced me to go see Dr Kavar while I was visiting India. With almost no belief in Ayurveda, on my brother’s request, I finally went for a consultation session with Dr Kavar. She is one of the doctors whom you would instantly fall in love with. Her positive attitude and way of explaining things was what won me over. Without making any false promises, she gave me the hope and confidence that she would try her best to fulfill my dream. Her only demand was to follow religiously what she really advised and have faith in her/Ayurvedic treatment. The journey wasn’t easy. Lots of sacrifice, discipline and determination is needed. But is that much, I thought, to get what I wanted the most in life? The answer was a simple “No”. I went on a “satvik” diet on her recommendation as soon as I started the treatment. Started fertility yoga. Lost 14lbs and was in best of my health. All this was to improve the internal health and get the system ready to sustain the baby. Within just a couple of months of treatment (2 weeks in India and the rest in US) with Dr Kavar, I went in for my IVF process. The result? A big fat POSITIVE on the home pregnancy test and blood test. Not only was I pregnant, my IVF specialist said the quality of eggs and sperms was the best we (my husband and myself) had ever had (in our previous 2 IVF cycles). I had a whopping number of 9 eggs retrieved, out of which 4 fertilized with excellent quality. This was the magic of Dr Kavar and Ayurveda. Never had I thought in my wildest dreams that Ayurveda had this extreme power of improving one’s health (especially infertility). Dr Kavar has been a blessing in my life. She is not only my doctor but I truly consider her as a very good friend and guide. She has been with me throughout my journey, is always willing and available to listen to your concerns and questions. She listens patiently and is happy to see her patients doing well. I never found her to be commercial and demanding unnecessary treatments. She is the BEST at what she does. If I have to give any advice to anyone wanting to go through treatment with Dr Kavar, the only thing I would say “LISTEN TO HER”, for she only wants the best for you because she is the “BEST”. Thank you Dr. Kavar for everything you have done for me. My baby, my husband and I will always remain grateful to you.

I appreciate Dr. Pranjalin Kavar and the staff at associated with MDC. After year of lose and complications, I followed each and every step and because of their proactive approach we have been blessed with a little boy this time! He is perfect and healthy ~ Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I consider myself very fortunate to have Dr. Pranjalin Kavar as my aunty and also one of the nearest family member. I strongly recommend Dr. Pranjalin Kavar to any woman looking for a good Ayurveda Doctor.

After 03years of marriage, it is perfect time to become mother so we decided and asked to Dr. Pranjalin Kavar for further course of action. We adopt Garbh sanskar treatment. I was enjoyed all the treatment it was like a journey through heaven on earth. Every trimester medicines have been changed with different diet plan, yoga and music therapy. I had received weekly mail from MDC with admirable information for diet plan, yoga and what happened with baby & mother which has given me very good information for become good mother. Initially it is very painful but after this course I am feeling very pleased and very lucky to adopt this treatment. I can’t express it in my words what i feel. Finally we blessed with healthy Baby Boy.

Aartiba Harnish Zala, Surat

During my pre wedding gynaecologist consultancy, I was informed that I am suffering from PCOS. Also with being in sports during school days and an injury on account of the same, I used to suffer from acute back pain. As with time, the pain had subsided a bit and used to occur rarely I did not pay a lot of attention to it. However, my monthly cycles were never very regular. Post wedding we came to know that the back pain could be a result of both PCOS and excess weight. It was from a friend that my husband knew about Dr. Pranjalin Kavar and we decided to consult her. The very first time that we met Dr. Kavar, I was immediately convinced that I wanted to carry on my treatment with her. She has a very positive and a warm personality and never treats her patients like clients only. With time and her constant support, we are now very comfortable with her and can easily discuss any issue. She listens to us every single time with the same concern and compassion. She is very well professed and is always ready with the right answers, be it questions related to her profession or something else. When I started my treatment, approximately 4 months back, I was 71kgs and today I stand at 65 kgs. She advised me to start regular yoga along with the medicines and it has worked wonders with me. Both me and my husband underwent 'Virechan' as well and it was a very good experience. Though we were a little sceptical in the beggining as were were supposed to consume medicated Ghee in huge quantities, however her support and guidance made it easy for us. I am still continuing my treatment with her and I wish to acheive even more for myself and I am very sure that under Dr. Kavar's guidance, we will be able to achieve our goals very soon.
Aarti Sharma

My Experience with your medicines have been “magical”. I feel so lucky to have met you and I want to everyone suffering with irregular periods to know that Ayurveda is the best safest, sure and quickest way to getting your natural period cycle back on track. I have never had a regular cycle from day 1 and have wasted more than 15 yrs of my life doing Alopathy (from best Dr’s in Mombay) only to put on weight and depend on hormones to get a period. After taking Dr. Pranjalin’s medicines I got my period naturally, without any side effect and continue to get them every month. (yes! Ayurveda is that quick).
Thankyou for everything dr.

Love nidhi

Sorry for taking so much time to share this with you but, this is what we really feel from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you, is a very small word. We started our journey with Dr. Pranjalin almost 2 years back. I and my husband wanted a planned pregnancy and wished to opt the natural, ayurvedic path for the same. And the answer to this wish was Garbhsanskar, our very first appointment with Dr. Kavar was enough to help us be sure she is the one that we want to work with. In these 2 years we have realized that, Dr. Kavar apart from being very good professional is very caring, empathetic and supporting guide too. Her consultations have never made us feel like patients or clients to her, rather we were more like friends. She does an amazing job making you feel comfortable as it helps you discuss your issues or concerns better.

I had a history of irregular periods on account of PCOS, which also makes natural conception difficult. The route that followed our consultation was a little intimidating, as it required consuming certain amount of medicated ghee and regular supplements. But her attitude, compassion and support never let us waver from the path and helped us stay equally motivated throughout the journey, for what we started.

Today we are blessed with a boy and no words can express our gratitude towards her. We always wished to go the natural way when it came to planning our family, as my husband and I, did not wish to opt for allopathy and there couldn’t be a better guide than her. Though nothing compares to what she has done for us but a million thanks to Dr. Pranjalin Kavar. We are glad we found and chose you.

Ankit & Aarti

I must admit lots of Credit goes to Dr Pranjlin the way she has guided me during the entire pregnancy, and the way she prescribed me medication, diet, exercise, positive thought process all this were a part of my smooth pregnancy and perfect execution Thanks Dr Pranjlin Ones again..

Dhruti & Nirmitbhai

"Prem" : that's what we named our son (born on 3rd February 2019). Truly a gift from heaven above and Dr. Pranjlin Kawar. It's been 9 years that we are married and me at the age of 32 decided to have a baby. Being lucky enough to have family-like relationship with Dr. Kawar, asked her if it's safe and wise to conceive at this age ? And she was like : "Don't Worry" "let's go ahead". Her undoubted faith in ayurveda helped us establish trust in her and her treatment - Garbha Sanskaar. She and Her treatment not only took care of my physiology, but also helped me phycologically throughout my pregnancy and post pregnancy. Her genuine "Don't worry" made me a healthy mother of a healthy child.

We happened to travel to the USA when I was 7 months pregnant, we had to deliver the baby there in USA. Apart from all the preparations for my medicine and treatment, her 24x7 support was what kept me going. She was reachable even from across the globe. She makes me feel at home when I have any damn query or concerns. Transparent character like her is rear to find who discusses every bit of her treatment to the patient. My husband questions Everything, and she has an answer to all of them.

Testimonial is just a formality, we really don't have words to express our Feelings and gratitude for Dr. Pranjlin Kawar. I've faith in her and her know-how about her field. She's a blessing to me. Warm and level headed person who has a positive approach to no matter what comes her way. She has added one more medal to the glory of ayurveda and our country. Thank you very much Doctor, for everything you did.

Rachna & Pratik (Prem Patel)

I am most thankful to Dr. Pranjalin for her nutritional plan & guidance. It has helped me in conceiving within 2 months of consulting her.
Upon first approach, She had suggested I undergo Ayurvedic detox which I did. Though the cleansing procedure was not easy, her constant emotional support & telephonic guidance helped me finish the program.

I had then undergone IVF treatment which turned out successful in the very first round. Before undergoing any invasive fertility treatment, one should always undertake the conservative & ancient ayurvedic approach, to facilitate the hormonal balance & improve reproductive system blood circulation.

Again, I greatly thank her for her invaluable professional advice. Her services are highly recommended for all couples struggling with fertility issues.

Now I can use it in my practice and help society through this. The class was very simple and easy to understand and it added a lot to my knowledge.

I am really thankful to Dr Deepa Mehta and Dr Pranjalin kavar for giving such a detailed explanation about the Sanskar which we could not find in our Ayurveda books. Before joining the session I did not know the wideness of Garbha Sanskar. It's a bonding between mother and child. it's not only a subject of Ayurveda but by this, we can give a good and wonderful person to the world so you are doing an excellent work for the world. Before 2 years I had just thought to learn but at the time I didn't take it seriously but after attending the session I assure you that I will and I can do this practice. Thank you for sharing the details of good recipes for pregnant women which are also useful after pregnancy which we can't find anywhere.
