Abstract

The concept of srotas is unique contribution in the understanding of anatomy of human body. The microchannels, or srotas of body serve as a platform for the functions of tridosha, dhatu, oja, agni, and other entities. The anatomical genesis of srotas (Moolasthana), its anatomy (form), the reasons of dushti, and the aetiology and signs and symptoms of dusthi lakshans are also described by Acharyas. An individual's normal health condition is greatly influenced by their understanding of the anatomy and physiology of srotas, as incorrect physiological functioning and disrupted anatomical alignment can result in a variety of health problems. Medovaha srotas is one of the srotas. Acharya Susruta cited Vrikka and Kati Moolasthana of Medovaha Srotas, Acharya Charaka mentioned Vrikka and Vapavhan. There is no disagreement in Vrikkaas a Moolsthana, although Vapavahan has Greater Omentum, and Katias has a significant amount of fat in the area surrounding to lumber region. The mechanism that transports or circulates the constituents of the Doshas and Dhatus to the different organs is known as the Srotas.
