Abstract

Ayurveda is the traditional health science system, its name translates to "knowledge of life." Ayurveda outlines routines and practices to follow Ayurveda before pregnancy to care for the foetus, starting from the gametic stage, to ensure the overall well-being of the child, emphasizing the effectiveness of body (Dosha, Dhatu, Mala), metabolism (Agni), sensory elements (Indriyas), mind (Manas), intellect (Buddhi), and inner spirit (Atma). Ayurveda identifies critical components for pregnancy known as "Garbha Sambhav Samagri," which consist of Ritu (fertile period), Kshetra (uterus), Ambu (Ahara Rasa, nutrition), and Beeja (Shukra, Shonit). These Garbha Sambhav Samagari factors are vital for ensuring optimal health for both the mother and the child. They are essential elements for conception. The combination of these factors ultimately leads to the creation of the foetus. The great sages have elaborated on Garbha Sambhav Samagari, which pertains to the necessary components for conception. Acharya Charaka has emphasized the significance of offspring, noting that couples who have children enjoy numerous advantages such as Bahu Murtitwa, Bahu Mukha, Bahu Kriya, Bahu Chakshu, Bahu Gyan, and Bahu Shakha. Thus, studying the normal and abnormal aspects of "Garbha Sambhav Samagari" will contribute to the betterment of society and the nation.
