Abstract

We have examined prenatal care from both an Ayurvedic and modern scientific perspective in this article. About Garbhini Paricharya, Granthas has cited a great deal of sources. Because Ayurveda places a greater emphasis on diet for a healthy lifestyle, all forms of Paricharya are primarily concerned with eating habits. Several Acharyas define Garbhini Paricharya as a system of systematic supervision meant to guarantee the fetus's full development, appropriate nutrition, complications-free delivery, and no defects. The main components of Garbhini Paricharya are the normal diet and lifestyle of pregnant women, Garbhopaghatakar bhava (Contraindicated diet and mode of life or factors which harm foetus), and Garbhasthapak dravya (Drugs which useful for maintenance of pregnancy). Preventive health care includes antenatal care, according to Modern Science. Prenatal care involves diagnostic testing and screening to rule out and prevent problems such as low birth weight, infections in the newborn, miscarriages, maternal death, and birth defects. Thus, prenatal care ought to be provided in an integrated manner, that is, in accordance with both modern science and Ayurvedic principles.
