Ayurved does not practice
the ‘one size fits all’ methodology as it trusts that every individual is a
unique part of nature with a distinctive combination of the five elements of
nature, namely fire, water, earth, air and space, where earth is the physical
body (muscles and bones), water is the blood, air is what we breathe, fire is
the heat generated in our body for metabolism, absorption and body temperature
and space is the spirit that dwells in.
Ayurveda states childhood is
the phase for complete physical, emotional, social and intellectual development
and a baby is considered as an individual in Ayurveda from its birth itself.
Ayurveda treats every newborn as a unique creation with distinctive state of
body and mind, known as doshas namely vata, pitta and kapha. According to
Ayurved having a balanced Vata Dosha is essential for the proper growth and
development of babies.
The formulation of this baby
salve has been made keeping in mind the traditional recipes of solar infusions,
