The present work gives an idea about the Ayurvedic Etiopathology of such disorders with special reference to IUGR and its successful management protocol given in the Ayurvedic classics. The aim of the work is to enlighten scientific world about Ayurvedic solutions to IUGR and carry on further studies on IUGR in Ayurvedic lines.
