Abstract: Ayurveda is a system of holistic medicine that integrates health with lifestyle to restore balance and remove disease by resolving the imbalance that causes it. Ayurvedic techniques that support digestion, immunity, vitality, and rejuvenation can help assist women with a healthy conception, pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Ayurvedic approaches can help common but bothersome pregnancy symptoms as well as potentially prevent more serious pregnancy complications. Specific techniques, including developing a daily routine and the practice of pranayama to support vitality through breathing exercises are described to help guide modern obstetrical practice.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
