Dr. Dinesh K.S · Chaukhambha Publications
The practise of Kaumarabhrtya starts right from birth of the baby upto he becomes capable of independent existence. This is the time of maximum elopment of the child. During this time both his physical and mental development is promoted. And that itself is the contribution of Kaumarabhrtya. This branch suggests the rules and regımes regarding cleaning, bathing and stabilising the new born. Gradually, through domains of diet, milestones, education and upto attaining the age of puberty Kaumarabhrtya guides to carve out the best possible individual out of him. It deals with the diseases under two main heads- firstly, exclusively paediatric diseases like ksheeralasaka, phakka, etc and secondarily, paediatric management of the common diseases like jwara, atisaara, etc taking into consideration the factors like age and strength. Thus, Kaumarbhrtya is the first hand of support offered by the science of Ayurveda to a new born on his arrival to this new world, to guide him towards a healthy living throughout the future. Children were considered as vulnerable in the society since the date or Haritasamhita.
