Abstract

Srotas is defined as the channels through which the conduction of the nutrients for the Dhatu is takes place regularly. The vitiation, depletion and maintenance of existed bodily structures i.e. Dhatu are never possible without Srotas. The Srotansi are that channels by which conduction of the respective nutrients to their respective destination is possible. After that only that specific organ gets the pacification or depletion. Hence any organ cannot be maintained or cannot vitiate without Srotas. Every Srotas has its own Srotomool which carry or create the Ras Raktadi Bhava Padarth through it. As a tree is seriously affected by injury to its root, similarly the channels of circulation in the human body are seriously affected when their Srotomoola is being injured or get vitiated. The utility of the knowledge of the Srotomoola (origin) of Srotas (channels) is not directly described in Samhita.Thus hypothesis is undertaken to understand the concept of Srotomool of Annavaha Srotas in scientific way because if we know the structure and function of the Moola Sthan of particular Srotas then it is easy for the management of various diseases conditions that Srotas.
