Structural Consideration of Majjavaha Srotas
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Ancient medical science Ayurveda stands on its basic principles like Panchamahabhuta siddhant, Srotas sharir, Marma vigyan etc. Srotansi are the inner transporting channels of dhatu undergoing transformation. The colour, nature and structure of a srotas depend on which dhatu they carry. It may be circular, large, or small, straight or reticulated. Majjavaha srotas is only defined by Acharya Charak but Acharya Sushruta has excluded this. Majja is described as sixth dhatu. It is derived from final extract of asthi dhatu. Majja is the unctuous part found inside asthi. The function is to give moisture, strength, and formation of shukra dhatu. Majja occupies the pores and cavity of asthi dhatu. The majja dhatu may compare with yellow bone marrow in modern medical science. Bone marrow basically lies inside flat bones and end of long bones. The moola of majjavaha srotas are Asthi and Sandhi. The moola may be considered as chief source of that particular srotas. As asthi is the previous dhatu, it may be its moola. Sandhi is formed by the junction of two or more asthi. Mainly bone marrow is seen at the spongy bone situated at the joint forming end part of long bone.
