Developmental delay manifests as failure to reach age appropriate milestones in multiple domains 

Persistence of primitive reflexes beyond expected regression ages indicates potential delay. Early

screening and intervention have proven effective, with Ayurvedic methods offering promising

prospects. Masthishka abhighata, a possible contributor to developmental delay is addressed in

Ayurvedic texts. Certain factors influencing on growth and development of the child can be assessed to

the earliest i.e., from the very next moment after conception.The term samvardhana is found in kashyapa Samhita Lehanadhyayam while explaining Samvardhana

ghrita , different lehya formulations for developmental disorders like Mukatha, Panguta, Ashruthi,

etc.Samvardhana is a special characteristic feature of children, which distinguishes them from an adult.

Not all faculties develop at a time in the infant. The child acquires different skills and talents at different

periods of growth and development. Thus, failure to achieve different milestones could grossly be

termed as samvardhana vikaras which at earliest to be intervened and proper care to be taken. Thus

using of certain ayurvedic treatment like pratimarsha nasya, matra basti modalities will be useful in

achieving and attaining milestone domains at the earliest
