SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF ANASTHI GARBHA

SANDHYA PATEL.


Abstract
Anasthi garbha is one of the most misunderstood and mis-interpreted concept of Ayurvedic pediatrics. Most of the times this is interpreted as a boneless fetus or hydatidiform mole resulting from lesbian relationship. Strishukra is considered responsible in favour of this notion. Such misunderstanding requires clarity. Anasthigarbha is reporting of a rare incidence of birth of a child with skeletal dysplasia, which results from sexual relationship between a female (46, XX) and a phenotypic female (male-pseudohermaphrodite with spermatogenesis i.e. 46, XY). An attempt is made here for a clear scientific understanding of anasthi garbha.

Key words: Anasthi garbha, Skeletal dysplasia, Male pseudohermaphrodite, 5-alpha reductase-2 enzyme deficiency, Parthenogenesis.
