ABSTRACT
Pregnancy is a precious phase to be cherished in a woman’s life. In today’s world, women during pregnancy are exposed to conditions which may cause social, physical and psychological stress leading to Garbhopaghatakara Bhavas. These Bhavas are likely to produce abnormality in fetus. The organ systems of fetus are established between 3rd and 8th week of pregnancy, hence any abnormality due to action of teratogens occur in this period. Acharya Sushruta opines that Garbha Vriddhi occurs by the involvement of Vata along with Rasa. According to March of Demis (MOD) Global report on birth defects worldwide, 7.9 million births occur annually with serious birth defects.[1] It has been estimated that 70% of birth defects are preventable. More than 80% of spontaneous abortions occur within the first 12 weeks of gestation. Hence, to prevent abnormality and sustain healthy pregnancy, Vatahara line of management can be adopted as explained by Acharyas. Aushadhis possessing Mrudu, Madhura, Sheeta Gunas and Garbha aviruddha property are indicated in Garbhini, only if necessary[2] which act as Garbhasthapaka. Rasaushadhis are known for their faster and effective results in smaller doses compared to Bheshaja prayoga. Bruhat Vata Chintamani Rasa is explained in Bhaishajya Ratnavali as one of the best formulations to counteract vata vikara conditions.[3] Hence, early Prayoga of Bruhat Vata Chintamani rasa can yield good results in pregnant woman. The present paper focuses on the effect of Bruhat Vata Chintamani Rasa on Garbha srava w.s.r to Bad obstetric history on Garbha and Garbhini Stree.
Keywords: Garbhini, Bruhat Vata Chintamani Rasa, Garbha srava, Bad obstetric history.
