Dr Ashok Kumar Sharma
Abstract: Ayurveda is the most ancient system of life science it is well known. All the text of Ayurveda are so much rich with its own terminologies and researches which are elaborated in modern era with different terminology. Two theories regarding nutrition of developing fetus is given in Sushrut and Charak Sharir Sthan eg. Snehan Nyaya and Swedan Nyaya. These theories of nutrition elaborate pre implantation and after implantation nutrition of zygote. As Snehan & Swedan are the process in which indirectly exchange of nutritive substances occurs between the fetus and mother. Before implantation developing zygote fulfill its nutritional requirement with the food storage in itself and partially by the secretion of uterine glands that is matraswatantrata. After formation of placenta nutrition and gaseous exchange occurs through the placenta that is matrapartantrata. In both stages of nutrition there is a barrier between mother and developing fetus which is crossed by the nutritive material and gases by the two nyaya mentioned above. Chark used the term Nishyandan means the process of exchange the nutrition and gaseous substances through the placental barrier. Old Nyayas mentioned in ancient text is accurate analysis of process by which nutrition is provided to the developing fetus. In modern embryology these methods of nutrition are found accurate as there is no direct relation between mother and fetal blood stream.
