ABSTRACT

During pregnancy certain physiological changes take place among which Garbhini Chardi or Emesis gravidarum is one. Sometimes it may further lead to hyperemesis which may affect the growing fetus as well as health of the mother. Ayurveda is a science of life which emphasizes both the preventive and curative aspect of diseases. Acharya Charaka has compared pregnant woman with Antarvartni (Earthen pot filled with oil) which can spill off even by small disturbances, hence seeking proper attention. Garbhini Chardi is one of the Garbhini Vyapads explained by our Acharyas which is a pregnancy induced ill-health and causes congenital problems in newborns due to deficit nutrition. Ayurvedic classics have mentioned Chardi as one of the Vyakta Garbha lakshana which can be compared with the disease vomiting of pregnancy i.e Emesis Gravidarum. As a result, during pregnancy, it's crucial to address and prevent vomiting. Here we have explained the causes, types, general and specific treatment of Garbhini Chardi.
