Among the branches in Ayurveda written over five thousand years ago, pediatrics is one of the eight major branches of medicine. And without this, other parts of Ayurveda do not form a basis.
Child health –
Child health science describes what needs to be done to create a better and healthier population, as well as knowledge to protect and enhance the health of children.
Ayurveda’s view is that the birth of every child should be pre-planned so that the life of every child should be pleasant and beneficial. Therefore, what to take care of before pregnancy? How to take care of the mother and the foetus during pregnancy? As well as the treatment of the child’s feeding diseases are described in Ayurveda, in these paediatric sciences. Overall, this science has given full consideration to the health of the child before birth, at birth and from birth to sixteen years of age.
The mind of a child is fragile and flexible and it is essential to have good rites on it. These rites can easily transform a child into a cultured and polite human being.
Man has to go through three stages according to his age. The first is childhood, the second is youth and the third is old age. If you have heard or read about the three defects vata, pitta, kapha till now, then out of those three vices, the kapha defect is the main defect in the body in childhood, and with it, the body grows and various diseases are formed.
Therefore, if proper care is taken in childhood, the next two stages of life can be very pleasant and if proper care is taken with the help of Ayurveda, there is no doubt that the body will be fine in all these stages.
