Concept of Srotas, Srotodushti, and its Applied Clinical Aspects

Abstract

The Triguna, Tridosh, Saptadhatu, Oja, Agni, and Srotas are the foundation of Ayurveda’s holistic biology. The body’s  internal transportation system, or Srotas, serves as a platform for the actions of other significant bio-factors, such as the  three Doshas, the seven Dhatus, the Oja, and the Agni. In the Ayurvedic classics in addition to the circulatory system, the  term “Srotas” is used to describe the dynamic interior transport system of the body-mind-spirit organization. According to  Ayurvedic Acharyas, an unhealthy lifestyle and unwholesome diet can cause the Srotas system to lose its integrity, which  affects the entire range of life processes in both health and sickness. According to Acharya Charak, “Without the help of  the Srotas that transport the Dhatus, which are continually undergoing (metabolic) transformations, no structure in the  body can grow and develop or waste away and atrophy. To comprehend Ayurvedic biology and medicine, it is necessary  to learn both the theoretical and practical aspects of Srotas as without srotodusti (histopathology) no disease can occur.
