SBEBA has the best scientific updated maternity care guidelines of Ayurveda

1. WHY SBEBA MATERNITY CARE IS IMPORTANT
Dr. Remya Krishnan MD PhD

2. Science Based Evidences
• SBEBA maternity care employs the best available inbuilt Science
Based Evidences to help guide maternity care decisions to facilitate
optimal outcomes in mothers and newborns.
• SBEBA highlights the key indicators in conventional Ayurveda practice
which demands replacement
• To diagnose and treat based on highly specific and specialised
principles of science referring to “of the patient – for the patient”

3. Myths in Conventional Ayurveda maternity care
• The concept that Pre conceptional Panchakarma improves fertility
• The concept of Pre-conceptional fertility foods
• Purification, “rejuvenation” and emotional practices
• Universal Maasaanumaasik paricharya
• Rose petal water bath advised as “Ayurvedic”
• Overuse of medications
• Underuse of Shasthra
• Nil application of Shasthraarthas

4. Barriers to Science Based Evidence Based Care
• A set of conventional beliefs and practices followed for years with many
stakeholders running powerfully
• A common unit for prescribing and dispensing- The former is meant for the
latter
• Gravely impaired education right from the basement BAMS
• No independent assessment and evaluation for quality of prescription in
the recipient
• Adverse effects of conventional malpractice is hardly reported or reviewed
by any policy makers .
• The recepients have worst form of misbelief that Ayurveda is Herbal
Medicine and therapies

5. Crucial updation required in Ayurvedic Applied Medicine for
decision making
• Modern age mothers are no way comparable to primitive mothers
• Assisted techniques of conception, synthetic hormones and life style
• Have other diseases improperly managed / suppressed / altered/ masked /
blocked that have significant impact on pregnancy and quality of offspring
• In modern age, mostly there is no concept of reversal of pathogenesis as
the latter is unclear. Every sort of adjustment to resolve a problem is hence
risky
• Empirical and uncertain polytherapy is very risky and dangerous to both
mother and baby as well.
• Science Based Evidences can only guide the updation process and hence it
is important to learn to choose and apply them

6. • A Medical science will not develop by following culture, tradition, old
age beliefs and practices. Rather it happens only with the pertinent
knowledge and practice of Science Based Evidence Based Medicine.
• Myths cannot be shattered by merely qualifying in science without
the pertinent knowledge and wisdom of shasthraarthas.
• SBEBA greatly prevent the necessity of chemical drugs and
interventions in pregnancy and post partum period leading to
emergence of healthy mothers and future generations.

7. • SBEBA recommendations reflect the need to increase the public
awareness of scientific evidence based maternity healthcare practices
and scope of disease care guidelines of Ayurveda to greatly access the
intended science based evidence based maternity care to every
mother
• SBEBA strategies are researched by the fundamental core principles
of practice of Science Based Medicine and not blind empirical data
led research and hence could be reliably applied and verified in all
subjects

8. Pregnancy is a responsibility
• Of Physician and mother
• An unlearnt physician or a careless mother both can destroy life
• Science Based Evidence Based Ayurveda enables both to stay
responsible
