Abstract

The concept of Srotas (body channels) forms the cornerstone of Ayurvedic understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and disease processes. These channels facilitate the movement of vital substances throughout the body, playing a crucial role in sustaining balance and overall health. This review highlights classical Ayurvedic descriptions of Srotas and examines their relevance in light of modern anatomical and physiological knowledge. Notable similarities are observed between Srotas and systems such as the circulatory, lymphatic, and other transport mechanisms. In this article we will discuss about conceptual and pathological aspect of srotas with perspective of modern and Ayurveda.
