Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of healthy conception and pregnancy, particularly in the preconception period. The health of parents is crucial for a healthy progeny, with the ovum and sperm being in optimal condition.
This unique speciality of Ayurveda medicine promotes longevity and wellbeing by recommending daily diet, activities, and body functions, including reproductive functions. Healthy parents are essential for a happy pregnancy and healthy offspring.
WHAT IS BEEJSHUDDHI?
Beejshuddhi is a preconception procedure that involves obtaining high-quality sperm and ovum through a healthy diet and regimen, preparing the couple's body for a healthy reproductive system, preventing congenital abnormalities in the fetus.
Pregnancy by choice
Pregnancy should be a choice, not an accident, as modern life often leads to stress and worries. Planned pregnancy is beneficial for a healthy, intelligent progeny. Ayurveda, a medical system, focuses on physical, psychological, mental, and spiritual parameters, with preconception therapies promoting longevity and a healthy future generation
Healthy conception & Bheejshudhi How can it be attained?
Achieving healthy conception and Bheejshudhi involves using purificatory therapies to cleanse the reproductive apparatus and form the best quality sperm and ova. In Ayurveda, panchakarma plays a crucial role in this process. Factors such as Ritu, kshetra, Ambu, and ahara rasa contribute to successful conception. Parents should attain purity of body and mind before conception, ensuring harmony in reproductive apparatus, circulatory channels, and mental state. Deep internal purifications balance doshas by removing ama in the body
