Abstract

Children are the assets who play an important role in the development of a country. Starting phase of their life is the most crucial period as it is the base of their physical, mental and behavioral development. According to Indian demographic profile 26.98% of the population is of children between 0-14 years. India is having high mortality rate of children less than 5 years of age. Most of the death in the Balyavastha occurs due to the Aptarpanjanya Vyadhi (malnutrition). According to the WHO, worldwide the leading causes of death among children under five years of age are acute respiratory infections, diarrhea, congenital anomalies, infectious diseases etc. Ayurveda has described many Balaroga and their Chikitsa under the Kaumarbhritya branch.
