*Verma Parul

Abstract

Holistic approach of Ayurveda is based on Triguna, Tridosha, Panchamahabhoot, Saptadhatu, Ojas, Agni and Srotas. The body contains numerous channels through which the dhatus, doshas and malas circulate throughout the body, known as “Srotas” in Ayurveda. In Ayurvedic classics the term srotas is used as dynamic inner transport system of body, mind, spirit, which provide plateform for activities of other important bio-factors like three doshas, the seven dhatu, the oja, the agni etc. Ayurvedic Acharyas have described that health and disease depends on integrity of the Srotas system.

Keywords: Triguna, Tridosha, Panchamahabhoot, Saptadhatu, Ojas, Agni and Srotas.
