What Is Jaapa?

What is Jaapa?

Welcome to Livsatvik, where we celebrate the time-honored tradition of Postpartum Care, known as "Jaapa," a sacred science and cultural practice passed down through generations in our beloved country. Jaapa is not just a ritual but a holistic approach essential for the optimal well-being of both the mother and the newborn. At Livsatvik, we recognize the depth of this tradition and have woven it into the fabric of our postpartum food hampers.

During the Jaapa period, our focus is on nurturing the new mother to ensure her complete recovery and the healthy development of her child. We emphasize extended periods of rest, providing a crucial foundation for rebuilding energy, boosting immunity, preventing infections, and safeguarding against postpartum depression. Regular massages, tailored for both mother and child, play a pivotal role in enhancing blood circulation and reducing stress hormones.

Central to the Jaapa tradition is the meticulously crafted "Jaapa Diet," comprising specific superfoods aimed at rejuvenating and healing the new mother's body. This specialized diet works wonders, aiding in restoring the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size and condition, balancing hormones, and promoting optimal lactation. Crafting this specialized diet is no easy feat.

 

What we do

Crafting the Jaapa Diet is an art form in itself. The procurement of ingredients, such as the elusive "Sathwa Saunth" and "Desi Khand," requires precision and dedication. At Livsatvik farms, we take pride in overseeing the entire process of creating desi cow bilona ghee, from raising the cows to churning the butter to producing the golden elixir – all done in-house.

Transforming these raw ingredients into their usable form is a laborious and skill-intensive process that demands meticulous attention and craftsmanship. Even the drinking water for the mother is elevated to a therapeutic level through the infusion of "Battise ka potli," a concoction of over 30 ingredients carefully blended through pounding and sieving.

Delving further into our commitment to authenticity, certain ingredients, like "Ajwain," undergo a 48-hour treatment with kaccha desi cow milk, showcasing our dedication to preserving and fortifying traditional recipes. In a world where the knowledge passed down from our grandmothers is gradually fading, Livsatvik stands as a guardian, blending the wisdom of our cultural heritage with the needs of 21st-century mothers.

Our personalized postpartum hampers are a testament to this commitment. They are thoughtfully curated to address modern concerns such as postpartum depression, lactation challenges, weight loss, and fatigue. At Livsatvik, we aim to make your Jaapa experience not only authentic but also enjoyable and hassle-free.

Embark on this journey with us, where tradition and innovation converge seamlessly, providing a holistic postpartum care experience for both mothers and their precious newborns. Livsatvik – where the essence of Jaapa thrives in every nourishing bite.
