| The doctrine of Ayurveda states that, Suprajanan takes place only when the 4 key factors namely Rtu (Apropriate time for conception), Kshetra (Site for conception and implantation), Ambu (Nourishing fluid for fetal growth) and Beeja (which could be roughly correlated with Sperm and Ova which are the seeds for fertilization) are at their best possible state. When all these 4 factors are appropriate they create conducive environment for conception and new birth. | | The doctrine of Ayurveda states that, Suprajanan takes place only when the 4 key factors namely Rtu (Apropriate time for conception), Kshetra (Site for conception and implantation), Ambu (Nourishing fluid for fetal growth) and Beeja (which could be roughly correlated with Sperm and Ova which are the seeds for fertilization) are at their best possible state.

| + | 1) Rutu- Rutu can be defined as the appropriate time for conception . This is the specific duration of the menstrual cycle when the yoni (cervix) is open and permeable, and allows the entry of shukra . This rutu is of 12 days considering a normal menstrual cycle of 28 to 30 days. “rutustu dwadasharatram bhavati drushtartavaha:|” Su.Sha.3/6 |

| + | 2) Kshetra- Kshetra means Garbhashaya (the uterus and allied organs). The concept of Kshetra can involve the whole female body including the reproductive system & the mind; the mind ready for the process of conception & motherhood. The female body, the kshetra, should be free from dosha & ready to accept & sustain the pregnancy. The body detoxification, therefore, is required & can be achieved through Panchakarma therapies like vamana, virechana, basti etc (Cha.Sha.8/4) followed by a stipulated restricted nutritious dietary regimen. The cleansing and strengthening of the garbhashaya and allied organs then can be done using therapies like uttarbasti, pichudharana, yonipooran etc (A.Hri.uttar34/ 26,27 &A.hri. uttar. 34/61) .Mind plays a very important role in the process of conception. |

| + | Balanced, joyful, peaceful mind is required for conception. Also, the thoughts in mind of the female, at the very moment of conception, determine the type of jeev (Cha.sha.2/25) which is inculcated into the shukra & shonit at garbhashay and results into the Garbha (Cha.sha.4/5). Counseling, meditation can help for mind preparation. |

| + | 3) Ambu- Ambu is the fluid or the juice resulted from the digestion of the food taken by the mother . This serves for the nutrition of the garbha. The quality and quantity of this Rasa, is of utmost importance, as it forms the basic building units of the garbha. |
| + | |
| + | 4) Beeja- Beej is defined as the entity which gives origin to a new life similar to itself . The beeja therefore, is responsible for inheritance of maternal & paternal attributes. Beeja here refers to streebeej i.e. Artav & purushabeej i.e. Shukra. The purity of shukra and artav should be considered important. |

| + | The detoxification of Male body is also considered important prior to conception to ensure complete health of the male partner & purity of shukra. |
