Review of the Ayurvedic concept of Garbhopaghatakara Bhava

Abstract

Ayurveda is a traditional medical practise that emphasises both preventive and therapeutic care for a person's health. The significance of taking care of the mother before, during, and after pregnancy is heavily emphasised. The reproductive cycle is very significant to a woman's existence. Every woman in the world has the most wonderful dream of being a mother. The most important and difficult time in a woman's life is during pregnancy. Numerous factors, including as eating habits, lifestyle choices, and psychological considerations, might have an impact on pregnancy. Throughout its intrauterine life, the foetus depends on its mother for both nutrition and development. The great Ayurvedic authorities described the Garbhopaghatakara Bhavas, or things to avoid during pregnancy, while describing Garbhini Paricharya. When present during pregnancy, Garbhopaghatakara Bhavas are such variables that have the potential to injure or destroy the foetus or its development. One of the saddest elements of pregnancy is a deformed living foetus. Due to carelessness or ignorance, all women in today's fast-paced society accidentally do some behaviours that are advised against during pregnancy, which can result in miscarriages, abortions, and other obstetrical issues. Here, an attempt has been made to examine the mother and offspring's Garbhopaghatakara Bhavas.
