has anyone tried punsavan vidhi for conceiving a male child? - #1942

Anonymous

My mother-in-law insists that we perform the Punsavan Vidhi ritual as part of our pregnancy plan. She strongly believes it increases the chances of having a male child, following traditional Ayurvedic practices. I’ve been reading up on it and am a bit conflicted. On one hand, it’s a part of our culture, but on the other, I’m not sure if there’s any scientific backing for it. We’re trying to conceive, and while I don’t have a gender preference, the pressure from the family is real. Is there anyone here who has undergone Punsavan Vidhi? Did it actually influence the outcome, or is it just a cultural tradition without real impact? Also, are there any specific herbs or medicines used during this ritual that I should be aware of, especially any potential side effects?

Doctors’ responses

Punsavan Vidhi is a Vedic ritual performed during early pregnancy as part of traditional Hindu culture, believed to influence the gender of the child, particularly to ensure a male child. However, there is no scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in determining gender, as the sex of a child is determined biologically at conception. Medicines/Herbs Used: Some rituals may involve the use of Ayurvedic herbs or formulations. These are typically safe but may include ingredients like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, or cow milk preparations. It is important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before consuming any substances, especially during pregnancy, to avoid potential side effects. Conclusion: While the ritual holds cultural and emotional significance, it is largely symbolic. The decision to participate should be personal and free from undue pressure. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and prenatal care for a safe pregnancy.
