Introduction – We must take care of women in post-natal period with same cautions and sincerity as we take care in ante natal period. Post delivery period after pregnancy is directly related to maternal physiological and anatomical changes in mother. And these changes should revert to the same state as before pregnancy. In Ayurveda classics it is described as Sutika Paricharya title.The word Paricharya includes Ahara (Diet), Vihara (regimen) and Aushadha (Medicines). Main Goal of Sutika Paricharya is to regain the lost vitality and strength as same as the pre-pregnant state. This article contains and describes different component of Sutika Paricharya by different classical Ayurvedic Texts. Aim and Objectives – To review the literature of sutika paricharya from different ayurvedic texts and compile its importance. Methodology – A thorough review of literature related to sutika paricharya in ayurvedic compendia was performed. Result – Sutika Paricharya can be mentioned in the terms of Ahar, Vihara and Aushadha. After reviewing the literature, we found different sutika paricharya is mentioned for different women on the basis of Desha (place of residence) and gender of birth child, also it is mentioned in the terms of both samanya and vishesh paricharya. Discussion – In Ayurved we found detailed description and indications for what to do after delivery to regain women’s vitality and strength. And also, we got ideas for systemic quality care during post-natal period (Sutika paricharya). We should follow the things what our acharyas instructed to us to get desirable results.
