Abstract
Manas is called as Ubhayendriya, it does the action of both Karmendriya and Jnanendriya. All activities of human beings are controlled by Manas. One feels happiness, sorrow etc. that all because of Manas. Females are more emotional beings; it is necessary to maintain calmness in all situation for good health. Pregnancy is a vital stage in women’s life which is very critical and emotional phase. For the development of healthy child, Manasika Swastya is considered more important and is described in Charaka Samhita as “Saumanasyam Garbhadharanam Shreshtam”. For proper conception, Saumanasya is the most essential factor. The emotional status during garbhadharana kala, garbhini and sutika avasta, will affect the health of the progeny. The disturbed mind may lead to development of various Manovikaras. Therefore, she should follow Sadvritta, Garbhini paricharya and Sutika paricharya properly1. At the same time surrounding her environment should cooperate like fulfilling her desires during her fourth months of pregnancy (Dauhridini avasta), avoid krodha etc on her,always showing kind and affection towards her.
