'Garbh sanskar' therapy for pregnant women

The faculty of Ayurveda, Banaras Hindu University and Sir Sundar Lal Hospital, IMS-BHU have started a garbh sanskar therapy for pregnant women to inculcate good values in the unborn child while it is in its mother’s womb.

According to reports, the therapy session has been carried out on pregnant women since last week of September in the department of prasuti tantra (obstetrics) in the faculty of Ayurveda.

The garbh saskar therapy, designed by a professor of Ayurveda, is being imparted to pregnant women in the department of prasuti tantra (obstetrics) in the faculty of Ayurveda. 

“Since the ancient times, ‘garbh sanskar’ has been given importance in India and across the globe. The ayurvedic practice claims to provide proper nourishment to the mother during pregnancy so that the unborn child could grow mentally healthy… Abhimanyu (Arjuna’s son) is said to have learned the war skills when he was in his mother Subhadra’s womb. He used to listen to the ‘Chakarvyuh’ planning that Krishna narrated to his sister,” a BHU spokesperson said citing references from the Hindu epic Mahabharat.
