In ayurveda, the matter related to concepts of Garbha and Garbhotpatti is described systematically. Essential elements for conception are described as Garbha sambhav samugri. Healthy status of all these four elements is essential for conception and healthy pregnancy outcome. Infertility may occur if there is any abnormality in these elements.
