subjectAbstract

Diet of the pregnant woman directly influences the growth and development of fetus in utero right from day one of conception. Balanced or proper diet as per Ayurvedic concept is not only the quantity of food but quality i.e. containing Shadrasas (six tastes) and when consumed by pregnant woman helps in over all growth and development of the fetus. If a pregnant woman indulges in the consumption of particular rasa for long the fetus will suffer from some anomalies/congenital deformities. As per fundamentals of Ayurveda, all the five mahabhutas are there in all the six rasa(taste)s but the manifestation depends on the predominance of one or more of the mahabhuta. As per the theory of organogenesis in Ayurveda various components of the fetus are derived from various mahabhutas so as consumption of particular rasa(taste) affect particular body part of the fetus and excessive and continuous consumption of particular rasa(taste) leads to anomalies as per the panchbhautic constitution of that particular rasa(taste).
