Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The medical world is really concerned about the increasing rate of congenital imperfections in the new born, which is posing confront to the aim of a healthy humanity. These congenital defects are seen as minor, major, anatomical, physiological, and even latent in nature. According to Ayurvedic principles, proper preparation of the parents is an essential prerequisite for a healthy progeny. Ayurveda has mentioned in detail, all the developments of the embryo in the womb and also the physical changes that mother undergoes at each stage of pregnancy. The general pregnancy is described in 'Pregnancy Vyakaran'. Similarly, the development of the fetus is mentioned in text Charak Samhita as a chapter named 'Garbhavakranti'. It is a great responsibility given by nature to us. Both, the father and the mother, should be aware of this responsibility and hence they should be prepared, physically and psychologically, to carry it. But, still, as the mother has to carry the baby in her womb, nourish it, and most importantly, give birth to the baby, more responsibility rests upon her shoulders. Ayurvedic theories recommend easily digestible and pure foods that provide nourishments to the tissues of the child and the mother.
