Abstract
Though every human initiates life as single-celled; still it possesses the traits of two- mother and father. Ayurveda stands firm
on principles and states that every “product of conception” is composed of Shadgarbhakara bhava that lay both anatomical
and psychological genesis. Ayurveda enthralls that the Matrija Bhava not only provides shelter and nutrition to the offspring
but also forms soft organs of the fetus. The intrauterine environment is a delicate phase for both mother and offspring.
Actions of and around pregnant females can affect the offspring positively or negatively. These actions may be dietary,
recreational, emotional, etc. This is well versed without many advanced technologies, the ancient scientists elaborated various
methods to beget the healthy progeny. This lays emphasis on the importance of Pre-Natal, Ante-Natal, and Post-Natal Care
for combating the teratogenetic effect and hence producing the best and fittest possible generation forward.
