The medical aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care are together referred to as maternal health. Certain issues related to maternal health may have answers in Ayurveda. As a result, a study of the literature was done utilizing internet search engines like PubMed and Google Scholar to determine the function of Ayurveda in maternal health. Six of the 70 articles that were found were ultimately chosen. It was noted that there is a dearth of innovative clinical research on this specific topic. The majority of the information in these databases are review papers or theoretical studies. Of these six titles, four (n = 6) articles are concerning maternal anemia, one (n = 6) piece is about pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting, and one (n = 6) item is about growth-related difficulties. This evaluation focused on pregnancy-related problems and associated ayurvedic remedies because labor and postpartum care were not covered in any of the original studies. Insufficient research in this area implies that either not enough is known about the subject, or the results are not being disseminated through scholarly publications. Clinical rese arch in this area is greatly desired because Ayurveda regimens and principles may offer some kind of cure for a variety of disorders associated to pregnancy. The health system should promote research on the use of maternal health, particularly in view of the existing rates of maternal morbidity and mortality.
