ABSTRACT

Srotas means pores or channels which is present in whole body. Srotas are the inner transport system of the body which provide platform for activities of important bio-factors like three Dosh, the seven Dhatu, Oja, Agni etc. These are the structural and functional unit of the body through which all the material, nutrients and other substances are flow from one part to other in body. When the flow or transportation of appropriate nutrients through these channels is unobstructed, there is health, when there is excess, deficiency or blockage in these channels disease can take root. The Srotas which carry Anna are called Annavaha Srotas and its Moolasthan are Amashaya and Vamparshva. The normal functioning of the particular Srotas depends upon its Moolasthan. Now a days changing food habits, sedentary lifestyle are the rapid and major cause for Annavaha Sroto dushti. Consumption of unhealthy food for a long time definitely vitiates the Annavaha Srotas and symptoms like indigestion, nausea, stomach pain , aversion towards food, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, belching etc. occurs. Ayurvedic Acharyas have described that the entire range of life processes in health and disease depends on integrity of the Srotas system which is prone to lose its integrity due to out of order lifestyle and faulty food. There is a need to study the fundamental and applied aspect of Srotas in order to understand disease process in depth.
