GENETICS IN AYURVEDA W.S.R. TO DEVELOPMENTAL ANATOMICAL DEFORMITIES AND THEIR PREVENTION -A REVIEW

Abstract

Medical science hasn't been able to reduce the prevalence of congenital malformations despite improvements in diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches. This is something that the traditional Indian medical system of Ayurveda has placed a lot of emphasis on and has proposed a number of countermeasures. In Ayurveda, Sahaja Roga, Kulaja Roga, Adibala Pravritta Roga, and Janmabala Pravritta Roga all go into great detail about the idea of congenital diseases. It has been made clear what the prenatal causes, safeguards, and disease categories are. In Ayurvedic texts, the significance of the Shad-Garbhakara Bhavas (six pro-creative factors), including Matrija (maternal), Pitrija (paternal), Atmaja (soul), Rasaja (nutritional), Satmyaja (wholesomeness), and Sattvaja (psyche/mind), is discussed. It is thought that for healthy progeny, these pro-creative factors must come together. In order to raise healthy children, it is important to consider one's own physical, mental, social, and spiritual wellbeing as well as the mother's diet during pregnancy and one's own adherence to a wholesome routine.
