Background: Pregnancy-related complications during the second trimester can impact maternal and fetal health. Traditional Ayurvedic practices, such as Susrutoktha Garbhini Paricharya, along with yoga, have been suggested to promote maternal well-being and fetal development. Objective: To evaluate the impact of Susrutoktha Garbhini Paricharya, which includes a specific Ayurvedic diet and yoga practices, on maternal health and fetal development during the 4th to 6th months of pregnancy. Methods: A randomized, controlled interventional study was conducted with pregnant women in their second trimester. Participants followed a regimen that included Ayurvedic dietary practices (Shastika Shali, Dadhi, Go-Ghrita, Go-Ksheera, Gokshura) and specific yoga asanas (Tadasana, Vajrasana, Marjarasana) along with Anuloma Viloma pranayama. Maternal and fetal health parameters were assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention. Results: The intervention resulted in improved maternal well-being, including better digestion, reduced back pain, and alleviation of anxiety. Fetal growth and development were enhanced, with no significant complications noted. The regimen showed a significant reduction in pregnancy-related ailments, including edema, digestive discomfort, and fatigue. Conclusion: Susrutoktha Garbhini Paricharya, when combined with yoga practices, is effective in promoting maternal and fetal health during the second trimester of pregnancy. This integrated approach can be beneficial in preventing common pregnancy complications and supporting healthy fetal growth.
