Ayurveda & Children

Ayurveda gives great importance to child health

. It is clear from the fact that out of eight branches in ayurveda, one branch entirely deals with child health known as Bala Tantra or Kaumarbhritiya. Bala Tantra covers topics on Pediatrics and includes aspects such as the care of the newborn, infant feeding, clinical examination, dentition, managing of childhood diseases, and doctrine of treatment and therapies, as well as childhood samskaras (religious rites and ceremonies to purify body, mind, and spirit).Special attention is required during this growing period as it is a tender age and the dhatus are immature. Adequate attention should be given to the development of the mental stage at this period as its in the developmental mode and the base of a persons mental health is laid during this period.

Ayurvedic system diagnosis childhood ailments from their etiopathogenesis and prescribes curing of diseases according to their cause, signs and symptoms and possible complications.

Ayurveda - A safe Approach from Childhood.

In the contemporary world people are loosing the innate healing power. It is mainly because they start loosing it from the childhood itself. When a child is born he is injected with vaccinations on the principle that his immune system is not capable of defeating diseases without the support of artificial immunization doses. In the pretext of strengthening it, he is slowly deprived of its inborn capacity to strike against diseases. This process is continued with the use of antibiotic from childhood for common childhood ailments. It doesnt mean we shouldnt use antibiotics; there are crucial times when these drugs are inevitable. But for simple ailments people could prefer natural remedies and could embrace a safer approach. We should give space for the body to act and ayurveda can help you in prevention through lifestyle and diet. Further by using medicinal herbs and spices which were being successfully used from olden times we could cure common childhood ailments. Herbs and medicines based on ayurvedic principles can build a strong immune system and support the health of children of all ages and cure all ailments pertaining to childhood.
