CONCEPT OF GARBHA SAMBHAV SAMAGRI AND ITS EFFECT IN PRODUCTION OF HEALTHY OFFSPRING

Dr. Ameeta Titoria*

ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian health science that has been practiced for thousands of years. Its name directly translates to "knowledge of life." The concepts of Garbha and Garbhotpatti are methodically described in Ayurveda. Everything's existence has been scientifically proven at this moment. Ritu (fertile time), Kshetra (uterus), Ambu (Ahara rasa, nourishment), and Beeja (essential components for pregnancy) are described in Ayurveda as Garbhasambhav Samagri (Shukra, Shonit). These are crucial elements in conceiving a child. The fetus is formed as a result of the interaction of all of these components. If the 'Garbhasambhav Samagri' is abnormal, there will be no conception. The importance of sperm and ovum quality in forming a healthy embryo is discussed in Ayurveda, as well as the soil (uterus), which gives nutrients and the correct season (environment) for the seed (embryo) to grow. The study of normal and pathological features of the 'Garbhasambhav Samagri' will thus be beneficial to society and the nation.
