Abstract : The primary objective of Ayurveda is to ensure the preservation of well-being and the prevention of diseases. Among the eight branches of Ayurveda, there is a specific branch called Kaumarbhritya that focuses solely on the care of children. Having a healthy child in every family today ensures a healthy society for tomorrow. Children are more susceptible to different forms of illnesses and developmental issues due to their immature immune system. Hence, rather of addressing the symptoms following the commencement of an illness, it is crucial to focus on its prevention. Ayurveda, a holistic system, emphasises the importance of a child having optimal physical and mental well-being.
