Abstract

With the latest advancement in the field of medical science, each aspect of human embryology has been
studied in detail and still more and more is being explored. This has been made possible with the help of
different tools and techniques. But in the present era of scientific world one cannot put aside the thousand years
old literature of ayurveda, where Acharyas have beautifully described human embryology in terms of
Garbhadhan Vidhi(method of conception), maasanumasik Garbha vriddhi and other aspects of Garbha shareera
(embryology) with their deep insight of knowledge even in the absence of present diagnostic tools/aids. Detailed
description is available in Samhitas regarding Garbhavkranti (fertilization) and monthly development of
Garbha. The present article aims to put forth the relevance of ayurveda concept of human embryology explained
by Harita and by reviewing the available literature it is concluded that description given at that time holds quite
true even today.
