Abstract
Among the Ashtanga Ayurveda, Kaumarbhritya focuses on child care in particular. Graharogais the most neglected portion due to excess mythological explanation, difficulty in clinical understanding, diagnosis, severity, complication, and treatment is entirely different from the routine disorder of children. Graharogas are those entities that attack and seize the body then affect the neonates and children very quickly with high mortality. Different acharyas describe Graha with their types, symptoms and treatment. Acharya Sushruta and Acharya Vagabhatta describe Skanda graha- commander-in-chief of the army of Devatas. The symptoms of the affected child resemble very much with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of childhood disability affecting function and development. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition communication, and behavior. Therefore, this paper aims to understand Balagraha with the modern aspect as well as its clinical application in day-to-day practice.

Summary
Among the Ashtanga Ayurveda, Kaumarbhritya is the one focuses on child care in particular. Graharoga is the most neglected portion due to excess mythological explanation, difficulty in clinical understanding, diagnosis, severity, complication, and treatment is entirely different to routine disorder of children. Graharogas of Kaumarbhrityaare different entities than Grahabadha. Graharogas are those entities which attack and seize the body. They affect a large number of neonates and pediatric age group. Their progression in the human body is quite quick, and they have a high fatality rate.In certain cases, they endanger the lives of the children who are impacted. Disorders are associated with goddesses, earlier birth sins, and evil deeds in our daily lives in our classics. Grahas afflict children for worship if the wet nurse and mother engaged in previously forbidden activities, are unhygienic, and do not behave in an auspicious manner, or if the children themselves are terrified, excited, terrorized, and beaten [1]
