Abstract

Ayurveda has its own holistic approach to understand the Purush Sharir by different theories like Srotas, In Ayurvedic classics the term Srotas is used as all the macro and micro channels and pathways operating in the living organism. The concept of Srotas is unique contribution in the understanding of anatomy of human body. There is a description of Srotas by 13 Acharya Charak and 11 pairs of Srotas by Acharya Sushrut. Srotasas are the micro channels of the body which provide platform for activities of Tridosh, Dhatu, Oja, Agni etc. Acharyas also describe the anatomical origin of Srotas (Moola Sthana), its anatomy (shape), Dushti causes & Dusthi Lakshans (etiology & sign symptoms). The anatomical and physiological perspective of Srotas play vital role towards the normal health status of an individual since disturbed anatomical positioning and improper physiological functioning of Srotas can leads many health issues.
