By keeping this goal in mind the <em>Upakrama</em> of <em>Niruha basti</em> and <em>Anuvasana basti</em> was selected. 100 patients were selected for this study and divided into two groups. In Control Group, there are 50 patients with Standard management (iron+ calcium) with routine diet during pregnancy. In Trial Group, there are 50 patients with Standard management (iron+ calcium) along with <em>Garbhini</em> <em>paricharya</em>.</p><p>The clinical study was done for evaluation of efficacy of antenatal management in Ayurveda during 8<sup>th</sup> &amp; 9<sup>th</sup> month of pregnancy. <em>Bala</em> <em>taila</em> is highly effective to bring about spontaneous labour onset at optimal time. Duration of labour was reduced by <em>Bala</em> <em>siddha</em> <em>taila</em> <em>basti</em> due to its regulation of <em>Prasuti</em> <em>Marut</em>.</p><p>Maternal and foetal complications during ante natal and post natal period are reduced due to <em>Bala</em> <em>siddha</em> <em>taila</em> <em>Anuvasan</em> <em>basti</em>, <em>Niruha</em> <em>basti</em> and due to high quality nutritive supplementation (<em>Mudga</em> &amp; <em>Masha</em> <em>Yavagu</em>).</p><p>Maternal as well as fetal weight gain was good due to high quality nutritive supplementation as described in Ayurvedic texts, and it provides optimal nutrition of mother and fetus. The Ayurvedic regimen has promise of providing the optimal and balanced nutrition by using quality ingredients.</p> ER -
