চরকসহতর আলক গরভবসথয় ভরণবকশর কলনকরমক পরযয়সমহ এব আধনক ভরণতততবর (Embryology) তলনমলক অধযযন

In ancient Indian Ayurvedic scriptures, Embryology is not only a medical subject-matter but rather considered as part of a well-organized, systematic, and philosophically deep theoretical discussion.Caraka Saṁhitā is a fundamental and authoritative book in this regard.Where the origin and development of human life is explained in the light of the interrelationship of body, mind, and vitality.Detailed descriptions of various staged progress of the embryo up to the time of birth are found in this ancient book.Although modern embryology explains embryonic development through experimental and biological analysis, many fundamental similarities can be observed with the observational concepts of Caraka Saṁhitā.In this research paper, the month-wise embryonic development described in Caraka Saṁhitā has been comparatively analyzed in the light of modern embryology.Through this analysis, an attempt has been made to show scientific significance of ancient Ayurvedic medicine.
