Garbh Sanskar stands in the middle of two major rituals
This whole journey of Garbh Sanskar is designed and followed as per the monthly development of fetus and for each organ to develop at its adequate time of gestational age.
Garbh (Fetus) + Sanskar (Developmental and Educational ritual) is an Ayurved / ancient Indian practice to influence the physical, mental and behavioural evolvements through the progressive stages of an unborn baby at the Gestational Age'.
As per Ayurveda, Garbh Sanskar is a voluntary process that aids your baby's development within the womb. According to this belief, as your little one develops and grows inside the womb, she can consume knowledge through you just like she consumes the vital growth nutrients.
Garbh Sanskar is one of the 16 sanskars prescribed for human beings. This is very important. It is highly beneficial for physical development, for the development of the brain of the fetus. If Garbh Sanskar is described in fewer words, then it means educating the child from the time of conception.
Prenatal care is crucial for pregnant women, as organogenesis is completed by the first 280 days. The first 280 days in the womb significantly impact an individual's mental and physical health. Ayurveda offers preconception care, including Garbhadhana, which promotes psychological tranquillity, body purification, and treatment methods. Adequate food, lifestyle modifications, Panchakarma, yoga, and pranayama are advised for better fertility.
