ABSTRACT:

Present generation is anxious about lifestyle disorders and ways to lead a healthy wellbeing. Modern science emphasis the role of genetic factors in physical appearance, mental characteristicsand disease formation of individuals. Even though physical structure, appearance and behavior of every individual is different, there are some common traits transferred from parents to offspring. This transmission is explained in terms of genetics.  Ancient AyurvedicAcharyas understands and explains this in terms of Beeja, beejabhaga and beejabhagavayava.Theformation and development of embryo is given much importance in Ayurvedic science. The concept of genetics is spread all over the samhita especially in shaareerasthaanain a hidden form. Understanding the concept behind each topic is a matter of interest and it put light on the view of genetics.Ayurvedic science not only gives importance to anatomical, physiological and pathological aspects of genetics but also emphasize the measures to prevent it. The genetics in Ayurveda is hence given much importance as the occurrences of genetic disorders are increasing day by day. Hence this study focuses to understand the role of Beeja, Beejabhagaand Beejabhagaavayava in genetic disorders and genetic predisposition.
