Abstract

  Extensive knowledge of the srotas is needed because; the whole body is made up of millions of srotasses. When there is vitiation or block occurring in these transport systems of the body, there occurs stagnation of unwanted things, depletion of nutrition, and destruction of tissues and imbalance of body-mind health.These in turn lead to many diseases. A physician knowing the srotasses, their roots of origin, their end points, the materials they carry, the kind of deformity or damage or vitiation occurring in them will be the best in identifying the disease and site of pathology.He will be very efficient in aborting the disease process. Thus, the knowledge of Srotasses not only helps in learning about the anatomy of transport system of the body but also to understand their physiology and pathology. Proper knowledge of physiology and pathology is the key for success in treatment.This will help to properly explain our health issues to the doctor, so that he or she shall help you to get rid of those problems at the earliest.
