The pre-conceptual phase is a critical period where environmental factors influence reproductive health and the health of future offspring. This article explores the modern scientific understanding and Ayurvedic perspectives on pre-conceptual environmental factors, emphasizing their impact on fertility, gamete quality, embryonic development, and overall progeny health. Modern science identifies factors such as nutrition, stress, pollutants, and lifestyle habits as pivotal in shaping reproductive outcomes. Simultaneously, Ayurveda underscores the importance of pre-conceptional ‘Shodhana’ (detoxification) and ‘Rasayana’ (rejuvenation) therapies to optimize the health of ‘Beeja’ (gametes), ‘Kshetra’ (uterus), ‘Ambu’ (nourishment), and ‘Ritu’ (timing). This integrative review discusses synergistic approaches for pre-conceptional care, blending contemporary evidence-based interventions with ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. The goal is to enhance reproductive potential, minimize adverse environmental impacts, and promote the birth of healthy progeny.
