Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Concept Of Beauty And Feminine Appearance In Ancient India
1. Concept Of Beauty And Feminine Appearance
In Ancient India
Satjit Kumar

health, gifting, being wise, healthy and financially
sufficient.
2. Beauty is a concept that depends on perception, and it always goes through
numerous changes over time. The perception of what constitutes feminine beauty
today has developed in the last few decades. Looking back at ancient India, we
can find that the notions of what makes a woman truly beautiful were drastically
different from the notions that are prevalent today. Religion shaped the ideas and
values of people in Indian society since the earliest days, and it also had a crucial
role to play in dictating the norms of beauty. Apart from religion, the socio-
cultural beliefs and day-to-day lifestyle of women shaped their beauty practices.
It is also important to note that in India, there has always been a lot of diversity in
ideas when it comes to women’s feminine appearance and beauty. These ideas
varied across regions and different periods. The existing cultural norms in a given
area also shape the notions of beauty.
Here are some concepts of beauty and feminine appearance that were prevalent in
Ancient India.
3. Traditional Attire
The saree has been a universally adopted garment among women in India since
the earliest times. It not only accentuated the feminine appearance of women and
made them look graceful, but the saree also kept the women comfortable in the
tropical climatic conditions of the country. Different variations of the saree as a
draped garment evolved, and each region of India has its variations of this attire.
Women also had a lot of choices in terms of the fabric of the saree.
Jewelry, accessories and adornments
Wearing jewelry along with sarees was a common practice among women of
Ancient India as it is today. The types of jewelry pieces and accessories popularly
worn by Indian women are necklaces and earrings. It was also common to wear
bangles, mang tikka, and anklets, and they all came in several stylish designs.
Gold was the most widely used material for producing jewelry, and silver came
second to that. Precious stones, like diamonds and rubies, added beauty to the
accessories.
4. Hairstyles and the use of hair accessories
Women’s hairstyles have always been considered an essential part of their
feminine beauty. Hence, it is no wonder that the Indian women during those
times loved to experiment with their hairstyles. While some women preferred to
tie up their hair in most circumstances, others loved keeping their hair free and
open. The women also further complemented the look of their hair by using
beads, flowers, pearls, and hairpins.
Cosmetics and Skin Care products
Unlike modern times, women in ancient India always used natural ingredients to
take care of their skin. To make their eyes look prominent and beautiful, women
in India wore kajal or kohl around them. They also applied turmeric powder and
sandalwood paste on their skin for their unique beneficial properties.
5. Wrapping Up
Women in ancient India adhered to healthy skincare routines and dressed in a
way that aligned with their religious and cultural beliefs. Their beauty practices
were practical and were deeply influenced by the beliefs of their era. They made
the best use of the skincare and beauty materials that were accessible to them.
