REVIEW ARTICLE ON ANATOMICAL CONCEPT OF MOOLASTHANA OF RAKTAVAHA SROTAS

Abstract

Ayurveda is a life science. Ayurvedic researchers could rule out the occurrence of Srotas
throughout the human body. Srotas is the sole route that transfers Dhatu during metabolic
change. According to certain authors, Srotas might be understood as a microvascular carrier
that specializes in material exchange. These Srotas are overseen by Vayu, who utilizes all of
the Srotas of the body to carry out the functional and physiological activities of the human
body, without which human civilization would not exist. The acharyas described several
synonyms for Srotas.
Srotas have their own Moolasthan, or root. Chakrapani defined Moolasthana of Srotas as
Prabhavasthana, which refers to the anatomical seat of the respective Srotas, the primary site
of pathological alterations, having diagnostic value, or being the focus of treatment.
