Kaumarabhritya, the Ayurvedic science of child health, is a specialized discipline that plays a vital role in ensuring the healthy growth and development of children from birth through adolescence. As Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach to well-being, the principles of Kaumarahhritya offer valuable insights into preventive pediatrics, nutritional needs. developmental care, and the management of childhood illnesses with time-tested Ayurvedic interventions.
This textbook, authored by Dr. Arun Raj G R and Dr. Kavya Mohan, has been meticulously prepared in accordance with the syllabus of Third Professional BAMS. It provides a well-structured and comprehensive overview of Kaumarabhritya, covering key areas such as Navajata Shishu Paricharya, Bala Samvardhana, Stanya Vijnana, Vyadhikshamatva, nutritional disorders, congenital and infectious diseases, adolescent health, pediatric emergencies, and Ayurvedic treatment modalities including Bala Panchakarma.
What distinguishes this work is its clarity of presentation, integration of classical concepts with contemporary relevance, and its focus on clinical application. The content not only supports academic learning but also nurtures critical thinking and compassionate practice among students.
I commend the authors for their scholarly effort in creating a valuable academic resource that aligns with educational objectives while preserving the essence of Ayurvedic wisdom. I am confident that this book will serve as a guiding light for students pursuing excellence in the field of Ayurvedic pediatrics.
