Three fundamental substances (dosha) present in a human body as per Ayurveda are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These biological elements play a key role in maintaining a healthy body. A proper balance between the three substances is essential to stay in the pick of health Ayurvedic experts have said

शुक्रशोणित संयोगे यो भवेत दोषः उत्कटः प्रकृति जायते तेन

The mental and physical growth of a new life begins with the development of embryo in the mother. In this stage, the dominant dosha determines the core nature of the baby that may last forever.

Pregnancy is the period when the characteristics of a person take shape. Self-knowledge plays a vital role in this Conception plaining should be based on the season suggested by the vaidh after understanding the prakriti of the parents

Season based condition of doshas

If the husband has pitta dosha and wife is Vata-pitta, it is not advisable for them to conceive pregnancy during monsoon and autumn seasons. They can have a healthy baby, free of vata and pitta doshas, if they conceive in winter, spring or pre winter months. They say human nature never changes. Dosha inherited in the womb lasts a lifetime. So, it is important to do family planning based on self-knowledge of both the partners.
