Abstract

Antenatal care concept in Ayurveda represents a comprehensive, stage wise regimen that guides to ensure maternal health and fetal development. The paricharya integrates dietary guidelines, lifestyle modifications, well-being, and certain herbal interventions that are unique to each month of pregnancy. Primary objective of the antenatal care is to maintain dosha equilibrium, support dhatu formation, and prevent complications during gestation. The importance of mental health of the mother during pregnancy and the impact of her behavior and feelings on the development of the fetus has also been emphasized in Garbhini Paricharya. Holistic development of the fetus through the practice of gentle routines, spirituality, and positive stimuli has also been recognized. Scientifically, following these guidelines leads to a lower chance of (birth defects), premature delivery, intrauterine growth retardation, and problems after childbirth.

In today’s scenario, Garbhini Paricharya can be correlated with concepts of preventive obstetrics and personalized medicine, providing an inexpensive and culturally acceptable means of treating expectant mothers.
