Dr. Manoj Malik*, Dr. Ashish Gulia and Dr. Somdutt Sharma
Abstract
Twacha (skin) is a multilayered & multifunctional structure of the
body. It might be the only structure of the body of which description &
references are found in each & every textbook of Ayurveda. But only
Sushruta is the author who described twacha in detail in Shareersthan
of Sushrutsamhita. He has described not only each & every layer of
twacha, but also thickness of these layers for the first time. It is the
identity & uniqueness of Sushruta. As description of twacha & its
thickness is present in both modern & ancient sciences, obiviously as a
research point of view, there will be curiosity to compare & co –relate
this description. As a part of this curiosity, this is a simple & sincere
attempt to co-relate layers of twacha & its thickness.
