Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Twacha (skin) is a multilayered & multifunctional structure of the body. It might be the only structure of the body for which description & references are found in each & every text book of Ayurveda but only Sushruta 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 and uniqueness of Sushruta. As description of twacha & its thickness is present in both ancient & modern sciences, obviously 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.
