Abstract

Ayurveda describes the Garbha (foetus) as an amalgam of various factors: maternal, paternal, mental, dietary, and factors agreeable to the body and soul. Under the heading of Shadabhavas Acharyas have described Satvabhava which one of the necessary Bhava responsible for healthy progeny. Thus our Acharyas developed concept about the type of behaviour and conduct before and during pregnancy to treat healthy progeny. A healthy progeny is desired by every parents. Health of the progeny is related with the health of the parents at the time of conception. So, we can say that “Healthy parents - healthier the progeny.” Vedic scriptures provide a description of the unique process of womb formation and systemic approach to conscious conception in terms of Garbhasankar.[1-3] Dietary and lifestyle customs are explained in the form of Garbhini Paricharya and Garbhaupaghatkar Bhava for antenatal care and disease‐free progeny.[4]
