Garbha Sanskar – an ancient way to have super baby

‘Garbha Sanskaar’ is a process of nurturing the baby in the womb. It is also a process of training the baby as well as the mother’s mind during pregnancy. Garbha Sanskaar comprises of two words, “Garbha” – foetus (union of shukra and shonit) and “sanskaar” – Sanskaro gunantra dhanam. Sanskaar means to replace bad qualities with good ones. Simply we can call it making changes. Sanskaar is the process which changes the property of the thing on which it is done.   We can take the example of an artist who changes a big stone into a good sculpture. The process of Garbha Sanskaar is similar. If good, hard and consistent efforts are made by parents, especially by the mother, to implant good properties in the baby in the womb, it results in good qualities being adapted by the baby that will be born with good and desirable qualities.   The process of Garbh Sanskaar starts right from the stage of planning because nowadays the baby should be born by choice, not by chance. The thought process of the mother plays a valuable role in nurturing the baby’s mind. Therefore it is suggested to the would-be mother to protect her thought process during her pregnancy period. It is suggested that she be in good, enjoyable company. This is because every single thought which comes to her mind, whether expressed or not, makes an impact on the baby’s mind. This is because the mind of the baby and the mother is intact and joined with each other. The main requirement is to transmit good values and to establish communication with the baby in the womb.   Thoughts and feelings of the parents also affect the baby. Even before the thought is expressed, it remains in an unexpressed form in mind. At that time its wavelength is shortest and its energy is at its maximum level.   Intentional, directed, selfless, unspoken thoughts lead to maximum Sanskaar on the foetus. To develop the desired qualities in the baby every mother should follow the process of Garbha Sanskaar.   We know as we browse the internet an image is reflected and stored in the memory. It also gets stored when we create any new document and give the command save. It is the same with our mind and baby’s mind. So we have to train our mind to detect unwanted things to install an antivirus in the mind to keep away from incoming viruses and prevent the mind from getting corrupted as for the baby’s mind also. This needs perfect training which is given during the Garbha Sanskaar workshops and classes. The program is designed for pregnant ladies from the 10th week to the 36th week which includes :   1. Mantro-charan session or meditation. 2. Yoga session. 3. Music therapy. 4. Diet Consultation.   A) In the Mantro-charan session the mother-to-be sits in a comfortable position with closed eyes and follows the instructors breathing exercise, pranayam, mantra chanting, listening, and visualizing the womb. All the while undergoing mind training, learning and communicating with the baby the desired qualities. The idea behind this session is to get her mind and body to stabilize and then connect with the baby.   B) Yoga– This session includes regular exercises and asana which are to be done during pregnancy.   C) Music therapy – It is believed that music is a very unique art form which encompasses all of life affecting and healing our body, heart, mind and soul.   D) Diet- Month wise diet plans are very important and Ayurveda prescribesmonthly diet plans. Every month, the development of a baby requires some particular food which helps in better development inside the womb. In this way, adopting the above regime during pregnancy can give us the desired progeny and give a great contribution to our society and the next generation as well.

Ayurvedic Approach Towards Infertility

Infertility, defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse, is a distressing problem that affects millions of couples around the world. While modern medical interventions such as assisted reproductive technologies (ART) provide solutions, complementary and alternative approaches such as Ayurveda are gaining popularity. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian holistic healing system, emphasises the importance of maintaining a healthy body, mind, and spirit. This article delves into Ayurvedic infertility management, discussing its principles, therapies, and lifestyle recommendations. Understanding Ayurvedic Infertility Treatment Infertility, according to Ayurveda, is caused by imbalances in the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), dhatus (tissues), agni (digestive fire), and malas (waste products). It believes that infertility is primarily caused by an increase in Vata dosha, which disrupts the reproductive system’s harmony. Subfertility is referred to as ‘Vandhya’ in Ayurveda, while infertility is referred to as ‘Vandhyatva.’ Ayurvedic Management Principles Dosha Balance: It is critical to restore dosha balance. Treatments aim to calm agitated Vata while also enhancing the nourishing aspects of the Kapha and Pitta doshas. Agni Correction: An imbalance in Agni affects digestion and metabolism, causing toxins (ama) to accumulate. Digestive health is critical for reproductive health. Shukra Dhatu Enhancement: The reproductive tissue, Shukra Dhatu, plays an important role. Ayurvedic therapies seek to improve both the quality and quantity of life. Panchakarma, a detoxification procedure, eliminates ama and revitalises the body. Virechana (purgation) and Basti (enema) are two of the therapies included. Emotional and mental factors have a significant impact on fertility. Ayurveda emphasises the importance of mental and emotional balance through yoga and meditation. Yoga and meditation can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and support overall well-being, all of which can help with fertility. Here are some Ayurvedic herbs and approaches that are commonly used to treat male and female fertility issues: Females should include: Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): This herb is frequently used to help women’s reproductive health. It is thought to regulate menstrual cycles, balance hormones, and nourish the reproductive system. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Ashwagandha is well-known for its adaptogenic properties, which can aid in stress management and hormone balance. It may be beneficial for women experiencing stress-related infertility. Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris): Gokshura is thought to help with ovarian function and hormonal imbalances. It is frequently used to treat menstrual irregularities. Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa): This herb has traditionally been used to support overall female reproductive health and to maintain a healthy uterus. Dashmoola: Dashmoola is a ten-root mixture used in Ayurvedic medicine to balance the body’s energy, promote circulation, and support the reproductive system. Males should include: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Ashwagandha is well-known for its ability to support male reproductive health by balancing hormones, improving sperm quality, and boosting overall vitality. Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance thought to improve male reproductive health by increasing sperm count, motility, and overall sexual function. Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is also used to promote male fertility. It is thought to improve sperm production, sperm quality, and prostate health. Vidarikanda (Pueraria tuberosa): This herb is frequently used to support male reproductive health by promoting sperm production and sexual function. Ayurveda emphasises the importance of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle for overall well-being. Adequate sleep, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can all help male fertility. Ayurvedic Fertility Treatments Abhyanga: This therapeutic oil massage promotes relaxation and improves blood circulation. Swedana: Herbal steam therapy removes toxins, improves blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. Uttar Basti: Medicated oil enemas nourish the reproductive organs while also balancing Vata in the pelvic area. Yoni Pichu: Applying herbal oils to the vaginal canal improves the cervical environment and the uterine lining. Shirodhara is a technique in which a stream of warm oil is poured onto the forehead, calming the mind and regulating hormonal function. Fertility-boosting foods include whole grains, organic dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables, and nuts. Digestion is aided by spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Lifestyle Recommendations Following a consistent daily routine (dinacharya) promotes harmony with the rhythms of nature. Balanced Exercise: Gentle exercises such as yoga and walking promote overall well-being. To maintain hormonal balance, prioritise adequate, regular sleep. Emotional Wellness: Meditation, pranayama, and mindfulness practises improve emotional health. Toxins Should Be Avoided: Limit your exposure to environmental toxins, chemicals, and processed foods. Positive Mindset: Cultivate positivity and optimism to foster a fertile environment. Conclusion Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to treating infertility by addressing physical, mental, and emotional factors. Its emphasis on individualised treatments, dosha balance, and lifestyle changes makes it a promising complementary option for couples attempting to overcome infertility. Remember that Ayurvedic treatments are tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (dosha) and specific imbalances. It is critical to consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the best herbs and treatments for your specific situation. Furthermore, while Ayurveda can be beneficial as a complementary approach, it’s critical to collaborate with a medical doctor, especially if you’re seeking treatment for infertility.
