PANCHAMAHABHUTA AND PREGNANCY

 Panchamahabhuta plays crucial role, in the formation of Garbha, and even the growth of Garbha.

Panchamahabhuta play a most important role after formation of Garbha as well as its subsequent development.
All living beings and non-living objects in the universe are made up of Panchamahabhuta
The concept of Panchamahabhuta(five basic elements) has been scientifically explained in Ayurveda. It is the five basic constituents which existin the universe and human beings:they are Akasha,Vayu,Agni,Jala and Prithvi. The union of Shukra(sperm) and Shonitha(ovum) and Jivatma with Sattva(Soul with mind) in the uterus is designated as Garbha(embryo).
According to fundamentals of Ayurveda Panchamahabhuta(five basic elements) i.e. Prithvi, Jala, Teja, Vayu, Akasha are chief constituents of all materialistic things of the universe. Actions such as division, metabolism, moistening, solidification and expansion are carried out by Vayu,Teja,Jala, Prithvi, Akasha mahabhuta respectively.
Garba is also transformed through different phases by the Panchamahabhuta and there is formation of highly complex human embryo. During that transformation there is different role of different Mahabhuta. Prithvi Mahabhuta(Roughness) is responsible for increased in bulk (one can consider it as increased in cellular volume and bulk), Jala Mahabhuta(Liquidity) is responsible for the unctuousness and binding between two molecules (one can consider it as formation of amniotic fluid), Agni(Heat) Mahabhuta is responsible for the transformation taking place in the embryo (one can consider it as tissue differentiation and formation of trigeminal disk as transformation), Vayu Mahabhuta(Mobility) is responsible for actual division and increase in the number of Paramanuin Garbha(one can consider it as cell division and increased in cell numbers) while Aakasha Mahabhuta(Free flow) is responsible for increased in volume and formation of channels as a space between two molecules.
Vayu and Akasha Mahabhuta are most important Mahabhuta among all basic five elements.
Specific function of Vayu is Vibhajana(Cell division), Teja is Pachana(Metabolism), Jala is Kledana(Moistening), Prithvi is Samhanana(Hardness) and Akasha is Vivardhana(Enlarges).
Division of Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Anga and Pratyanga(minor and major parts of body) is done by Vayu mahabhuta. The definitive human shape and structure is provided by Teja. It also gives complexion to the body. The Kleda (moistening) that is dryness and absorption caused by Vayu and Teja are normalised by Jala mahabhuta. The softened foetus regains hardness and specific shape(Rupa) by Prithvi mahabhuta. Thus formed foetus increases in size by Adhmapana (inflating) to Srotas (channels) which runs all over the body in Urdhva (upward), Adhah (downward) and Tiryak (oblique) directions by the influence of Akasha mahabhuta. Agni mahabhuta performs metabolic(Pachana) functions of the foetus and maintains the life of the Garbha (foetus).
Vayu mahabhuta also helps in cell divisions;it controls the movement of gases and impulses. Various actions of enzymes are attributed to Agni mahabhuta. Jalamahabhuta provide moistness and nourishment to dividing cells and helps in growth of tissues. Prithvi mahabhuta provides Rupa(structure) and Akara(shape) to thebody. Bones,muscles,hair,teeth and other compact structures are derived from Prithvi mahabhuta. Akasha mahabhuta provides spaces in the cells for their development.
All these five Mahabhuta work co-ordinately and form the complex Garbha.
The five elements refer to etheric, gaseous, radiant, fluid and solid states of matter.Mahabhutha plays an important role in Garbhautpatti(embryo genesis). It helps in separation and segregation of cell mass, nourishment, structural development etc.
Influence of five basic elements play a vital role in Garbha formation(embryogenesis) and the same is carried throughout the life.
Acharya charaka states that soul(Chetana) unites with the Akasha mahabhuta first and then it further unites with other four basic elements(Vayu, Agni, Jala, Prithvi).
