Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The term Pranapratyagamana used in Caraka Samhita is very much similar to the neonatal resuscitation. This word is used in the text of Navajata Shishu Paricarya i.e. Newborn Care guidelines by all ancient scholars of Ayurveda. The word Prana means life and Pratyagamana means coming back or arrival i.e. word Pranapratyagamana means coming back or reappearance of life or in other words re-establishment of respiration or spontaneous breathing of neonate. The Aim & Objective of this article is to explore the ancient neonatal resuscitation methodology i.e. Pranapratyagamana procedures in newborns used by various Acaryas of that time and its scientific comparison.
