A CRITICAL REVIEW ON ARTAVAVAHA SROTAS W.S.R. ITS MOOLSTHAN
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
In Ayurveda, the description of anatomy is gross and based on various principles like Dhatu, Marma, Srotas, etc. Srotas are Vritta (cylindrical), Sthula (macroscopic), Anu (microscopic), Dirgha (large) or Pratana (Reticulated) based on their shape. According to Acharya Charaka transportation of Poshaka Dhatu to the Poshya is dealt by Srotas. Purusha (organism) cannot exist without the organisation of Srotas. The concepts explained in Ayurveda are similar to a tree in which the root is Srotas. If the root of a tree is in proper condition it nourishes the tree (Sharira) very well, hence importance is given to Srotas. The present study is based on Artavavaha Srotas and its Moolsthan which are described by Acharya Sushruta in Sharira Sthana. The Mool of Artavavaha Srotas are Artavavahi Dhamani and Garbhashaya as per Sushruta.
