Anatomical study of Raktvaha Srotas w.s.r. to Liver
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Srotas are the channels of circulation or dynamic inner transport system of the body which provide platform for activities of other important bio-factors like three Dosh, Dhatu, Oja, Agni etc. The word Srotas is originated from the main Sanskrit root “Sru Srawane’’ meaning the structure to flow, to exudates, to filter, to ooze and permeate. Each Srotas is attached to a specific anatomical structure called Moola. The normal functioning of Srotas depends on Moolstana. Rakta is considered as Jeevan in Ayurveda texts. Raktavaha Srotas are channels of circulation concerned with the blood formation, storage and circulation of blood and lymph in body. Yakrita, Pliha and Raktavahi dhamnis are considered as moolsthana of Raktavaha srotas by Acharyas. Yakrita can be correlated with Liver. Most of the blood related concepts like haemopoesis, storage and decomposition of red blood cells are rooted in liver. Microscopically, liver is made up of minute channels of circulation or vessels which help in normal functioning of Liver.
