The Happy Couple?s Guide to Ayurvedic Garbh Sanskar

Let’s imagine a simple scenario. You are about to take a holiday vacation. What comes to your mind? For most of us, it starts with an elaborate plan that begins with booking flight tickets, the hotel room and transportation to the airport. Clothes, money, extra socks, camera, sunglasses – and what not. And if you were really cautious, you would take out a travel insurance too. So much for a simple trip, right?

Are You Doing Enough for Your Future Baby? The point is – if we plan so much for a simple vacation why aren’t we more thoughtful about the entire process of pregnancy and childbirth? If you observe, incidences of childhood issues like ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder), Hyperactivity, allergies, low immunity and learning disorders are becoming very common. And as children grow into adulthood, they quickly adopt addiction and other bad habits. All of these happen because of a weak foundation on which their personality and behavioural traits are based.

The Sacred Responsibility of Childbirth According to Ayurveda, childbirth is a precious gift of nature that we must accept with responsibility. Just as a seed planted in fertile soil at the right time and nourished by nature eventually grows to be a big and strong tree, so does a child who is conceived under the right circumstances and after due planning. Even a fertile patch of land that isn’t properly prepared may not bear a healthy tree. Ayurveda lays a lot of significance to preparing the entire body and mind for the process of child-bearing.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Purity, Strength & Rejuvenation Before Pregnancy When the Rasa (Lymphatic Fluids) and Rakta (Blood) in our bodies are pure, they contribute to the formation of Ambu (Nutritional Fluids). Ambu contributes to formation of 7 Dhatus in our body which eventually produces Ojas (the essence of 7 Dhatus). When Ojas combines with pure and strong Beeja (reproductive fluids of the male and female) it forms a healthy foetus in the womb. To achieve that goal couples are prescribed a combination of medicines, yoga and proper preconception diet in Ayurveda.

There are elaborate sections in Ayurvedic scriptures, collectively referred to as the Garbhini Vyakarana which guides how to prepare for the wonderful process of union of the female and male energies and welcome a new life on earth.

Making Benefits of Ayurvedic Preconception Available for Today’s Couples Most couples today are bound by professional commitments and other obligations which make it difficult for them to give due importance to the need for preparing themselves before pregnancy. Thankfully, there are easy-to-follow preconception programs which offer ayurvedic treatment for conceiving without any complications. Such programs make planning and preparing according to Ayurvedic recommendation simple for busy couples. Jiva AyurBaby is a preconception program designed with busy couples in mind. Based on 5000-year-old Vedic knowledge and leveraging the findings of modern birth sciences, this program completely cleanses the gut and reproductive system of the couple, strengthens all physical and psychological aspects and finally rejuvenates reproductive tissues to create the perfect environment for the foetus to form & develop.

Having a child is one of the most important decisions of life. Virtuous children are worth more than all luxuries that money can buy. Take the right decision, prepare with Ayurveda.
