Human body is a miracle of the nature. Creation of human body was not a random
accident of the nature. It is the work of cosmic intelligence divinely planned for a
definite higher purpose. Occurrence of human body in proper shape, size and
weight is a wonder of nature. There are so many deformities occurring at the time
of birth or after birth. The reason behind the deformities varies. According to
Acharya Sushruta most of the Garbhaj Vikaritiya (fetal anomalies) is a result of
karma of previous habitats (Papkarma), Poorvakarma etc. Some deformities occurs
due to Bija Dosha (Sperm and Ovum deformities) means heredity, some
deformities due to matrij vikrit aahar and vihar(faulty diet and behavior) means
congenital deformities and others due to insult or non fulfillment of desires of
pregnant mother during pregnancy. All those things which are required by mother
during pregnancy and those which are not provided to the mother can be the cause
of fetal deformities. Modern science has proved all the fetal anomalies
scientifically with the help of various equipments. As Ayurveda scholar there is
need of analytical outlook on Garbhaj vikritiya (fetal Anomalies) and their
etiopathogenesis in context of Ayurveda so that it could help in knowledge,
prevention and management of various fetal anomalies.
