ABSTRACT

Background: Garbhini paricharya refers to the regular medical and nursing care recommended for women during pregnancy described in classics. The health of future generations is to a great extent determined by the baby’s growth and development within the womb. The success of foetal life determines not only the health of the newborn, but also has a major impact on adult health and disease risk. Good perinatal health is therefore important to individuals, to society and to future generations. The supervision should be of a regular and periodic nature and according to the need of an individual.

Conclusion: The concept of garbhopaghatakara bhavas, garbhasthapaka drugs are some of the management modalities described in classics which have a way more importance if implemented timely during nursing care of pregnant women. The speciality clinics throughout the country catering to the development of this ayurvedic concept will not only help empowering the AYUSH practitioners in the field to practice effectively but will also improve to be a new strategy to promote ayurveda nationally as well as internationally.
