Conceptual study of role of Tridosha during Antenatal Period

Ayurveda primarily focuses on preventive as well as promotional health. It believes in principles of Tri-dosha (three fundamental bio-energies as well as vitiating factors or pollutants) theory. Tridosha theory is fundamental framework of Ayurveda. These three bio-energies namely Vata, Pitta and Kapha, when in equilibrium support body like tripod and when vitiated cause various diseases. A journey of every living creature starts from womb of mother (Beejanda) and travels towards outer world (Brahmanda). This travel of a cell from womb to universe is nothing but true scenario of life. This mysterious and marvelous starting of life journey has many transformations and adaptations which a living being come across in their life span. Human conception takes place in fallopian tube and then Garbha (fetus) is carried forward in the uterus for further growth and development. Garbhini Avastha (gestational period) is a very complex state of body which involves multiple adaptations necessary for uninterrupted supply of necessary nutrients to support fetal growth and development. Tridosha plays a significant role during Garbhini Avastha to aid woman in accustomed situations. These are responsible for normal growth and development as well as responsible for abnormal entities like congenital malformations. Current study focuses on significance of role of Tridosha during Garbhini Avastha or antenatal period with abnormal clinical conditions.
