Abstract :
The primary hindrances to human development are genetic diseases. The incorrect development of genotype is one of the causes of these illnesses. The deviation of genotype is caused by a variety of circumstances. The Ayurvedic literature also discussed hereditary diseases, stating that Beejdosha, Vikara, Shuddha Purush Shukra, and Stree Shonita are necessary for the development of a normal person. The concept of Beejabhaga and Beejabhagaavayava are explained in shareera sthana of charaka samhita. Acharya Charak has described first about the component of Beej whether of male or female and designed them as Beejabhaga and Beejabhagaavayava. Beej plays a crucial role in the development of the embryo and the transformation of genetic data. Ayurvedic science not only gives importance to anatomical, physiological and pathological aspects of genetics but also emphasize the measures to prevent it. The factors responsible for inheritance are Beeja, Beejabhaga and Beejabhagaavayava. Acharya sushruta has also explained the types of Napumsak like Asekya, Saugandhik, Kumbhak, Irshyak, Shand on the basis of vitiation of beej. Acharya charak has explained eight types of different garbh vikriti like diverta, pavanendriya, vakri, irshyak, narshand, narishand, snmskarvahi and vatik. The transformation of parental characters depends heavily on Beej. Therefore, the subject has been covered in the current paper.
