Review Article: Concept of Srotorodha (Blockage of Channels) in Relation to Aam

Abstract

One of the main reasons of disease is an aggravated dosha. These intensified  doshas become lodged in channels, resulting in abnormalities or channel  obstruction, which leads to a variety of illnesses. Blockage of channels is  another key cause of disease, in addition to improper digestive fire and  suppression of desire. The tissue elements or constituents undergoing change  are transported to their destination via circulatory pathways. The term  "channel" refers to the system of circulation. Contaminated diet and regimen  are the cause of body and mind channel obstruction. The function and quality  of the dependent tissues are disrupted or reduced when the channel is  blocked. Increased flow of contents, obstruction, and the formation of  nodules in the channels, as well as flow diversion, are all signs of abnormal  channels. Blockage of channels might involve obstruction and the appearance  of nodules in the channels. Metabolism is a continual process that occurs in  our bodies. The natural activity of the body produces free radicals during such  metabolic changes, which are damaging to our bodies in the long run. They  are the ones who make us old and start the ageing process, in which the body's  physical and mental functions deteriorate. It is related to Aam in Ayurvedic terminology, which is the result of incorrect digestion and this aam has the  potential to block channels and disrupt their operation.
