RESUMEN
Archaic scholars of Ayurveda lay great emphasize on intake of Ahara (food) as best source for nourishment and has a prime role in growth and development of foetus during pregnancy. In order to achieve a healthy progeny, Ayurveda classics have elucidated wholesome regimen to be followed by the parents before and after conception. There are specific procreating factors which help for the growth of embryo known as Matrujadi shad bhava (maternal and other 5 factors). Shadbhava (six factors) consist of Matruja, pitruja, Atmaja, Rasaja, Satmyaja and Satwaja in which Rasaja bhava plays an important role in providing nutrition to the foetus. The concept of Upasneha, Upasweda, Ambu, Apara and Nabhinadi are involved in nourishment of embryo/foetus at different stages of development. Acharya have drawn attention to certain food habits, to be avoided by the pregnant woman to refrain from abnormalities in the offspring. The concept of nutrition in Garbhini (Gravid Women) explained in classics has similarity with contemporary science.
RESUMEN
The Garbhaavkarnti is the stage that describes the process of the growth of cell from intra-uterine life to post natal stage. The Garbhaavkranti mainly deals with the pre-natal life i.e. the foetal period and other related processes. This period is minutely envisioned by Langman’s medical embryology, and in Susurta Sharira we have got more detailed version of pre-natal period. The Garbha-avkranti word signifies the Garbh i.e. zygote and Avkranti or Avatarana i.e. different stages of development of zygote. Garbhaavkranti is a process in which different stages of formation of Garbha is mentioned. Garbha (zygote) is formed from the uniparental inherent cells known as sperm and ovum. There are some special characteristics that combine or fuse together along with 24 other Gunas like Avyakta, Mahana, Ahankara, Prakriti Tatva and Bhava i.e. gene and chromosomes. There is no single way that may lead to the formation of Garbha. Matraja Bhava (maternal inheritance factor) is present in Aartava which further shows the quality of Aagnaya feature i.e. the mitochondria of ovum. The importance of embryology at that time was known by Susruta & the criteria for good progeny & the process by which embryo develops was all known to them in subtle level. It is fascinating to conclude that they knew about all this without the technological advances which are available today. The importance of healthy mother & father in phase of conception is shown in this Garbhavkranti. This gives the idea of unhealthy reasons and gives broad scale treatment for infertility cases. The Garbhaavkranti (embryology) is always a matter of mondo concern to medical field. So, in this article the Susurta Sharira Grabhavkranti is discussed precisely thereby referring to Langman’s medical embryology for testimonial based study.
RESUMEN
The aim of this review is to showcase and discuss about how music therapy clinical practice and research initiatives in India serve as a bridge between the experiences of traditional music healing practices and its scientific validations. The current status of these healing applications in the global framework of music therapy is highlighted. The multi-modal approach by which aspiring music therapists engage in clinical practice and research with an individualized approach to bring about the therapeutic outcome are presented. Traditional healing resources like Vedic chanting, Raga Cikitsa, Garbha Sanskara (Learning in the Womb), Time theory of ragas integrating the ancient Ayurvedic perspectives and Cakra activation (music and breathing technique using ragas) are enumerated. The clinical outcomes are reviewed as a way to impact biological, physiological, psychological, chrono-biological and spiritual dimensions.
