Role of Nishkramana Samskara in Phakka Roga in Children

Abstract

The rites of passage that occur in a person’s life and are documented in ancient Sanskrit texts are called Samskaras. From the time of a person’s birth until their death, they have significant cultural events. Samskara cultivates awareness for achieving one’s rights and social standing. The doctor can evaluate the child’s appropriate growth and development during samskara. The word “Kumaravastha” (childhood) refers to the fundamental characteristics of this age group, which include boosting immunity, developing physical and mental fortitude, managing the intake of food, and reducing the frequency of illness in developing kids. Thus, in this case, the Nishkramana samskara is essential to the development that is recommended at the infantile stage, when the baby is taken outside the house for the first-time following delivery, usually to a temple [1].
