A Review on Garbhotpadaka Samagri with Special Reference to AmbuIJARIIT
Since always the life has existed on earth the main and foremost aim of human beings was to lead a healthy and
disease free life. Ayurveda being a ‘science of life’ provides not only curative but also preventive principles for healthy and
long life. It has paid much attention on preventive principles not only after birth but since very beginning i.e. before the
formation of gametes. Since the decision of a child is taken to procure a disease free and healthy (mentally and physically)
baby, garbhotpadaka samagri gets into role to provide optimal health to mother and baby. Ayurveda explains regime and
rituals before pregnancy to take care of fetus from the very beginning of formation of gametes to promote well being and
efficacy of body (dosha,dhatu,mala) , metabolism(agni), perception elements(indriyas) , psyche(manas) , intelligence(buddhi)
and inner spirit(atma).
For a healthy pregnancy the pre-requisites explained by ayurveda are-Ritu (fertile period) kshetra (uterus) ambu (nutritive
ahar rasa) beeja (shukra and artava-sperm and ovam) are as the primitives. Along with some others like marga(genital
passage) hridi(pure controlled consciousness).
Thus, the care for above pre conception factors is must in interest of future of society and to improve health in developing
countries.
Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit term‘Yuj’ meaning to bind, join, attach and yoke, to direct and concentrate ones attention on, to use and apply. It also means union or communion. It is the true union of our will with the will of God.Yoga is performed ugh some specific postures called Asana. Among the eight limbs of Yoga, the yogic technique properly begins at the third limb that is the Asana. The word Asana is well known around the world for the yogic posture into which the whole science of Yoga is shrinking. Patanjali defines Asana as‘Sthirasukhatvam” in Yogasutra which can be translated as stable and agreeable. The benefits of Asana range from physical to spiritual level. Asana not only tone the muscles, ligaments, joints and nerves but also maintains the smooth functioning and health of entire body. “Vrikshasana” was described as one of the 32 most important Asana in GherandaSamhita. Vrikshasana word comes from Sanskrit words “Vriksha” means tree and Asana means posture. It is a balancing Asana. The pose is called Vrikshasana because in this pose it gives true spirit of tree. In this article anatomical structures involved in the “Vrikshasana” and how this involvement is beneficial in maintaining the health or in management of any disease is explained.

This is a PPT on the Ayurvedic aspect of Parkinson disease Which is known as Kampavata in Ayurveda along with the Case presentation on Parkinsonism patient treated by ayurveda.
The concept of pain in Ayurveda is very closely related with its concept of health and disease. Life is a structure as well as function. So abnormalities of the structure and functions of life are mutually contributory. Life is a flow and when there is obstruction in the path of flow there will be turbulence and the smooth flow of life is disturbed, and if the obstructions are in the vital area that will be critical and may fatal.
Marma therapy (vital point injury treatments)It is a well-respected treatment modality known to be helpful and safe for a wide range of conditions. For these reasons, it is rapidly achieving international goodwill. Marma therapy involves a wide range of technical tissue stimulations conducted by a practitioner’s finger, hand, elbow, knee, or foot applied to muscle or soft tissue at vital points with some altered pressure variations and also with thermal stimulation. often uses manual techniques such as pushing, rubbing, kneading, or high-intensity, high-frequency
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

4. INTRODUCTION
The Sixth dhatu nourish after Asthi Dhatu is Majja Dhatu.
It is embedded deep inside the Asthi, hence it is called as
Majja Dhatu.
Majja Dhatu is located deep inside the bones or cavities
of bones , hence Majja dhatu is difficult to see or examine.
LITERARY MEANING OF MAJJA DHATU
• Literary meaning of Majja is one who is bathed in
fluid or one who is embedded in some other
constituent. Majja dhatu is embedded inside Asthi
dhatu.
5.
6. DEFINITION OF MAJJA DHATU

¨ÉänüºÉºiÉÉÊxÉ{ÉÚªÉÇxiÉä×Éä½ýÉä ¨ÉWÉÉiÉiÉ:º¨ÉÞiÉ:*
(C.CHI.15/31)
During formation of Asthi dhatu, Vata creates spaces in the
bones.
These spaces are filled with nourishing tissues of Medas or
fat which is known as Majja. The final essence of the Asthi
dhatu which is a Semisolid Substance becomes Majja in the
Process of Metabolism.
The unctuous Material is found inside bone is called as
Majja.
7.
8. SYNONYMS OF MAJJA DHATU
Asthi-Sneha – Majja is the unctuous, fatty tissues
located inside Asthi, hence it is called as Asthi
Sneha.
Asthi – Sambhava – Majja dhatu is formed after
Asthi dhatu, hence it is called as Asthi – Sambhava.
ShukraSara – Shukra Dhatu is formed after Majja
dhatu , hence ShukraSara is a Synonyms of Majja
dhatu.
Vimajjan – Majja dhatu is hidden inside Asthi
dhatu , hence Vimajjan is the Synonym of Majja
dhatu.
9. LOCATION OF MAJJA DHATU
Majja dhatu is found at following site-
1. Inside the Cavities of all bones.
2. MajjaVaha Srotas.
3. MajjaDhara Kala.
MAJJA VAHA SROTAS
1.Roots of Majjavaha Srotas are as –
¨ÉWɴɽýÉxÉÉÆ »ÉÉäiɺÉɨɺlÉÒÊxɨÉÚ™Æü
ºÉxvɪÉõÉ* (C. VI. 5/8)1.Asthi (Bones) and Sandhi (Joints) are
roots of Majjavaha Srotas.
10.
11. PHYSIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF MAJJA
DHATU IN THE CAVITY OF BONES
Samanya – Vishesha Siddhanta can be applied to
understand Organisation of Majja Dhatu inside Cavity of
Bones.
1) Soft Majja dhatu is Organised inside hard Asthi dhatu.
2) Hard and tough bones protects Majja dhatu.
3) Soft and unctuous (snigdha) Majja dhatu balances dryness
of Asthi dhatu and Strengthens the bones.
4) Soft and unctuous Majja dhatu fills the Cavity of bones and
regulates Akasha and Vayu Mahabhuta of Asthi dhatu.
5) Soft Majja dhatu Strengthens the bones and it also makes
bones flexible.
12. CONTI....
Considering this Physiology interdependence of Asthi
and Majja dhatu , it can be said that Bones (Asthi ) are
Physiological root of Majja Dhatu.
SANDHI – ROOT OF MAJJAVAHA SROTAS
In Ayurveda, Sandhi or joint is a broad concept
which is described below-
1) Two or more Asthi join together to form Sandhi
(Joint).
2) Conjugation of Mamsapeshi, Snayu and Sira
is also called as Sandhi.
13.
14. RELATION OF ASTHI AND MAJJA WITH
NERVOUS TISSUE AND MARROW
Majja dhatu is situated in the cavity of Asthi dhatu .
Anatomically 3 constituents are found inside the cavity of
different bones.
Bone Cavity Constituent found
Majja dhatu
Cavity inside long bones Yellow and red bone
Marrow
Cranial Cavity inside skull
bones
Cerebrum and Other
parts Brain
Vertebral Canal Spinal Cord
15. CONTI....
Yellow and Red bone Marrow inside Marrow
Cavity of long bones should be learned as Majja
dhatu.
Cerebrum and Other parts of Brain Located inside
Cranial Cavity Should be learned as Majja dhatu.
Spinal Cord which Traverses within the vertebral
Canal also is Majja dhatu.
16. CEREBRUM (MASTISHKA) AND MAJJA
DHATU
Unctuous Medo dhatu perfuses inside the cranial cavity and
become Majja dhatu , which is called as Mastulunga or
Mastishka.
CRANIAL CAVITY
1. Cranial cavity is formed of eight skull bones. Skull bones
are joined (Sandhi) together inside which cranial cavity is
formed.
2. Body constituent located inside any bony structure is Majja
dhatu .
3. Practically , Brain is present inside the bones (Asthi)
of cranial cavity hence by applying logic, it Can be said
that brain which is a Nervous tissue is Majja dhatu.
17.
18.
19. VERTEBRAL COLUMN, MAJJA DHATU AND
SPINAL CORD
1. Thirty- two small vertebral bones (Asthi) join
together (Sandhi) to form vertebral column.
2. Spinal Cord is Protected inside vertebral Canal.
3. As Majja dhatu resides in Asthi, So Spinal Cord
should be a part of Majja dhatu.
4. Thirty- three Vertebrae (Asthi) and Inter- Vertebral
joints (Sandhi ) are Moolasthana of Majja dhatu,
hence spinal Cord is the most important part of
Majja dhatu.
20.
21. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF VERTEBRAL
COLUMN (ASTHI) AND SPINAL CORD
(MAJJA DHATU)
Trauma or Accidents of Vertebral column can
damage Spinal Column (Majja) within it which
may result in paralysis of Skeletal Muscles as
well as loss of sensation.
Degeneration changes in inter- vertebral
foramina compress Spinal Cord nerve roots
which Produce Symptoms like numbness,
Pain and Weakness.
22. IMPORTANCE OF VERTEBRAL COLUMN
Vertebral Column consists of 33 Vertebrae and
many joints. It encloses Majja dhatu in the form of
Spinal Column.
Vertebral Column is the most important root of
Majja Dhatu.
MAJJADHARA KALA – SITE OF MAJJA
DHATU
Eú™üÉ:Jɱ´ÉÊ{ÉºÉ”É ¦É´ÉÎxiÉ
vÉÉi´ÉɶɪÉÉxiÉ®¨ÉªÉÉÇnüÉ:**5** (S.SHA.4/5)1.Kala is a membranous structure which forms
marginal boundaries inside the cavities of organs.
23. CONTI.....
Kala can be compared with external membranous
Sheaths or Secretory and Epithelial Membranes.
FEATURES OF MAJJADHARA KALA
1.Majjadhara kala is not independently described.
According to Acharya Sushruta Majjadhara Kala is
same as Pittadhara kala.
2.Acharya Sushruta has described embryological
development of kala.
3.Acharya Sushruta has explained Kala while
stating symptoms of Snake – poisoning in human
Beings.
24. CONTI.....
According to Sushruta, Snake poisoning gradually
spreads in the body by destroying every Kala.
While describing course of Snake – poisoning,
Majjadhara kala is mentioned in Sushruta
Samhita.
25. CLINICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL SIMILARITY
BETWEEN PITTADHARA KALA AND
MAJJADHARA KALA
Membrane inside the lumen of small intestine (Grahani) is
called as Pittadhara Kala.
Pittadhara Kala assists in the process of digestion by
secreting Pachak Pitta.
As Pittadhara Kala Majjadhara kala are same, we have to
compare qualities of Majja dhatu and Pitta dosha.
Pitta dosha is Ushna and Tikshna while Majja dhatu is
Snigdha and Sheeta.
Pitta dosha and Majja dhatu are Opposite to each other.
Pitta and Majja dhatu reciprocate to each other.
Pitta Vriddhi Majja kshaya
Pitta kshaya Majja Vriddhi
26. CONTI....
Excess heat of Pitta reduces coldness of Majja
dhatu and excess heat of Pitta dosha also reduces
water contents (Jala) of Majja Dhatu.
Fainting or Syncope (Bhrama) is a common
symptom of Majja kshaya and Pitta Vriddhi.
Hot and Pungent food can lead to Pitta dushti as
well as Majja dushti.
Madhura and Tikta Aushadi is advised for Majja-
dushti and these Aushadhi also reduces Pitta –
dushti.
27. FORMATION OF MAJJA DHATU FROM FOOD
Genesis of Majja dhatu takes place in the early
embryonic stage. After Birth, Ahara – Rasa replenishes
Majja dhatu.
FORMATION OF MAJJA DHATU
Embryonic After Birth
From Maternal Ahara- Rasa From Digested Food
28. FORMATION OF MAJJA DHATU
Nutrients of Majja dhatu Poshya Majja
Majja Dhatvagni
Mala of Majja
Majja Dhatvagni transforms nutrients of Majja dhatu into
Poshya Majja dhatu in Majjavaha Srotas and during this
Process, Majja Mala is also formed in the Majjavaha Srotas.
29. PHYSIOLOGY OF MAJJAVAHA SROTAS
Process of synthesis of Majja dhatu takes place in entire
body as Majja dhatu is located inside Asthi dhatu.
We have seen that Majja is located inside long bones, in flat
bones and it is also located inside spinal cord of Vertebral
Column.
Hence Process of synthesis of Majja dhatu takes place in
whole body.
Sweet and Unctuous food (Madhur and Snigdha) is
homologous to Majja dhatu.
Jatharagni transforms such type of food into nutrients of
Majja dhatu.
Nutrients of Majja dhatu are present in Ahara – Rasa.
After absorption of Ahara – Rasa, Nutrients of Majja dhatu
are transported in Majjavaha Srotas.
30. CONTI....
In Majjavaha Srotas, Majja – Dhatvagni transforms
nutrients of Majja dhatu (Poshak Majja) into stable
(Poshya) Majja dhatu.
Stable Majja dhatu (Poshya Majja) gets lodged
inside all bones.
Poshya Majja dhatu carries out function.

32. TRIDHA POSHANA OF MAJJA DHATU
Majja Dhatvagni acts on nutrients of Majja dhatu and
following three constituents are synthesized in the process
of Tridha Poshana –
1. Sthula Majja dhatu (Poshak Majja)
2. Majja Mala (Majja Mala)
3. Precursor of Shukra (SukshmaShukra Poshakansha).
ROLE OF DHATUPOSHANA NYAYA IN SYNTHESIS
OF MAJJA DHATU
1. kshira – dadhi nyaya explains transformation of nutrients of
Majja (Poshak Majja)into stable (Poshya) Majja dhatu.
33. CONTI.....
2. Kedara – kulya nyaya explains transformation of Poshak
Majja from Majjavaha Srotas to Majja dhatu inside every
bone.
3. Khale – kapota nyaya explains action of Majja dhatvagni
exclusively on poshak Majja (nutrients of Majja) dhatu.
PANCHABHAUTIK CONSTITUTION OF MAJJA
DHATU
1. Ap (Jala) Mahabhuta is predominantly present in
Majja dhatu.
34. PROPERTIES OF MAJJA DHATU
Majja dhatu is unctuous (Snigdha), Viscus (Picchila), soft
(Mridu) and Heavy (guru).

• Sneha formed in the metabolism of Majja dhatu is called
as Mala (waste) of Majja dhatu.
• Netra Sneha- Oily secretion of eyes is called as Majja
Mala.
35. CONTI......
Twaka Sneha – Oil excreted from skin is also a
waste product of majja dahtu.
Vit Sneha – Vit means Purisha or Faeces.
(Waste Product of Majja which gets excreted along
with Vit (faeces) is called as Vit Sneha.
UPADHATU OF MAJJA DHATU
According to Sharngadhara Samhita Kesha (Hair)
are upadhatu of Majja dhatu.

¨ÉWÉÉ×Éä½Æý ¤É™Æü ¶ÉÖGú{ÉÖËŸü {ÉÚ®hɨɺlÉïÉÆ
SÉ Eú®ÉäÊiÉ|(S.SU.15/5).
Purana is the most important function of Majja dhatu.
Purana means to fill the spaces or gaps or cavities.
Majja dhatu fills the cavities in the bones and serves the
fuction of Purana.
While serving the function of purana, it controls Akash
and Vayu Mahabhuta present inside Asthi dhatu and thus
balances vata dosha.
Majja dhatu lubricates Asthi dhatu and makes all bones
strong and flexible.
Majja dhatu also strengthens musculoskeletal joints and
thus makes them strong and flexible.
Majja dhatu enhances endurance power of all joints of
body.
