Type of study-conceptual type
A.Ahara-Masanumasika Pathya: (Month Wise Dietary Regimen):
During pregnancy foetus starts to get nutrition from mother through placenta. Adequate nutrition is needed for monthly constant and proper growth of embryo. The requirement of nutrition varies according to developmental stage of foetus month wisely (Masanumasika vrudhi). Pregnancy imposes the extra nutrients requirement. Thus, the dietetic requirements of the mother also changes month wise. By following these dietetic regimens prescribed, the pregnant woman remains healthy and delivers a baby having good health, energy, strength, complexion and voice. The baby would also be well-built. Having importance of this; in Ayurvedic samhitas, the month wise dietetic regimen is given in details known as masanumasika paricharya (monthly regimen) for woman right from the first month up to the ninth month of pregnancy. The monthly regimen is necessary to make pelvis, waist, sides of the chest, back, healthy & flexible and downward movement of vata (vataanulomana) - this is needed for the normal delivery, Normalization of the urine and stool and their elimination with ease, Promotion of strength and complexion, Delivery with ease of a healthy baby, endowed with excellent qualities in proper time (280 days). The foetus present in the uterus, does not eliminate flatus, urine and faeces because of their little quantity (or absence) and inadequate activities of vata in the pakvashaya.3.
Vata undergoing aggravation (during pregnancy or non-fulfilment of lounging of the woman during pregnancy, makes the foetus to be born as kubja (dwarf), kuni(of distorted arms) pangu (distorted legs), muka (dumb) or minmina(of nasal voice).4
B.Vihara: Garbhopaghathakara bhavas
(Activities and substances which are harmful to foetus):
Garbhini should avoid use of teekshna, rooksha, ushna dravyas. Should give up foul smelling articles and should not eat dried up, stale, putrefied or wet food41 , vistambhi42 (hard to digest), vidahi food as these are harmful for the foetus. She should avoid heavy exercises, coitus, harsh or violent activities, ride over vehicles43 , excess satiation, excess emaciation, sleeping in day and awakening in night, sitting in uneven places and should avoid fasting, grief, anger, visiting lonely places, cremation ground44, prolonged stay near fire or hot sun etc. Her sleeping and sitting place should be covered with soft cushion/mattress 45. All these psychological and physical strains like carrying heavy weight or vehicle riding may precipitate abortion due to sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Also sitting on her heels for long periods indulging in oleation and other therapies like bloodletting at unsuitable time and suppression of urges of the body of urine, faeces , flatus etc.46
c.Aushadha- Garbhasthapaka dravya
(Substances beneficial for maintenance of pregnancy):
Garbhasthapaka dravyas counter act the effect of the garbhopaghatakara bhavas and help in the proper maintenance of the garbha. They can also be used in the treatment and prevention of abortion. These are to be used as a routine as they are beneficial for the maintenance of proper health, growth and development of the mother and foetus. Some of the garbhasthapakaaushadh is are Aindri (Bacopamonnieri), braahmi (Centellaasiatica), Satavirya (Asparagus racemosus), Sahashravirya (Cynodondactylon), Amogha (Stereospermumsuaveolens), Avyatha (Tinosporacardifolia), Shiva (Terminaliachebula), Arista (Picrorhizakurroa), Vatyapushpi (Sidacardifolia), Vishwasenkanta (Callicarpamacrophylla) etc. These should be taken orally as preparations in milk and ghee. A bath with cold decoction of these drugs should be given during pushya nakshatra. These should be kept in close contact with the mother and can be used as amulets around the right arm and on the head. Drugs of the Jeevaneeya gana can also be used in a similar way. Kasyapa has advocated that amulet of Trivrit (Operculina Tharpethum) should be also tied in the waist of pregnant woman.
Susruta in 8th month of pregnancy has indicated asthapana basti with decoction of badari mixed with bala, atibala, sathapushpa, pestled sesamum seeds, milk, curd, mastu, oil, salt, madhanaphala, honey and ghrita, followed by anuvasana basti of oil medicated with milk and decoction of madhura group of drugs for clearing the retained faeces and anulomana of vayu. Due to the movement of vayu in right direction the lady delivers without difficulty and remains free from complications. Whereas charaka48 and vagbata49,in 9th month has advised anuvasana basti with oil medicated with madhura group of drugs and vaginal tampons with the same oil used for sthana and garbhamarga (vaginal canal and perineum). Charaka and vagbata50 have advised aindri, brahmi, satavirya, sahasravirya or durva, amogha,avyatha, siva, arista, vatyapuspi, viswaksena for oral use with milk or ghritha prepared with these drugs. These drugs can also be kept in close contact of body or used in the form amulets to be tied in head or right arm. Anuvasana basti for lubrication of garbha.
Discussion
1.Ahara 2Vihara 3. Aushadha in Garbhini, we have discussed various diets and various Dos and Don’ts in pregnancy. Vagbhata use of prajasthapan drugs described in sutrasthana 56after pumsavahan karma, indu says that these drugs prevent abortion charaka and kashyap have prescribed certain drugs during pregnancy without specifying their indications, period or method of use. 57Chakrapani had clarified that Garbhasthaapak drugs- are those which after counteracting the effects of harmful factors ( garbhopghaatkar bhaavas) for fetus helps in its proper maintenances , thus these can be considered as a treatment for abortion. Kashyap had said these to be used in routine by pregnant woman, routine use of these drugs might be beneficial for maintenance of proper health, growth and development of mother and fetus respectively, with this idea the drugs are being enumerated here. Charaka and vagbhata have given the specific use of this enlisted drug as oral use of milk and ghrutam prepared with these drugs. The bath with the cold decoction of these drugs during pushya nakshatra should also be taken, these drugs should also be kept in close contact of mother and amulets of this be tied in head or right arm (only charaka). Similarly the drugs of Jivaniya group should also be used. Kashyapa had advocated listed drugs should be uprooted with enchantation of mantras and tied as amulet during pushya nakshatra, Amulet of trivritta should also be tied in the waist of pregnant woman. Dauhrudavastha is the special concept of Ayurveda affecting fetal growth. It is the period during which pregnant woman (Dauhrudini) expresses dietary and behavioural desires. These longings are desires of fetus, fulfillment of which is beneficial for proper gestation, whereas non-fulfillment or ignorance causes various developmental anomalies. Paricharya as per Ayurveda helps for normal delivery with easy and not much pain. Tension and complications as well as improve the physical and psychological condition of pregnant lady helping her to sustain the exhaustion of labour.
Conclusion
All the discussions about the aahara , vihara, aushadha in pregnancy prescribed by all ayurved classics aims at the healthy progeny and avoiding pregnancy induced complications. Following will result in the yield of healthy entity. The ancient Ayurvedic Literature described in Various Samhita; is not only unique but also scientific with Modern sciences. So Antenatal Care should be done as per Ayurveda.
