Abstract :

Pregnancy is a physiological condition in a woman’s life. It is a natural phenomenon hence does not require any treatment. Treatment is done only if there is any pathological condition or disease. Paricharya means the Ahara – Vihara which are followed by pregnant woman in order to keep all the body functions normal and healthy. Garbha (fetus) is completely dependent on mother for nutrition and growth. So whatever diet the pregnant woman consumes performs three functions – Nourishment of the woman’s body itself, Formation of milk, and Nourishment to the fetus. After following the dietetic regimen from 1^st to 9^th month, the woman remains healthy and delivers the child possessing good health, energy, strength, voice, compactness, much superior to other progeny. If garbhini paricharya is not followed by garbhini then the chances of Garbhavyapadas and Garbhopadravas areincreased. So to reduce the above complications,dietetic regimen plays an important role which was explained by different Acharyas in Ayurveda.
