Authors: Meenakshi Verma, Dr. Suresh Rathi, Kavita Mishra

Abstract: The study of Rachana Sharir (anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (physiology) in Ayurveda focuses extensively on the concept of Dhatus—the seven fundamental tissues that form the foundation of the human body. This paper delves into the structural composition and physiological functions of these Dhatus, emphasizing their roles in nourishment, growth, and immunity. Each Dhatu plays a vital part in maintaining the body's homeostasis and overall health. This research highlights the intricate interrelationship between these tissues, their transformation from one to another, and their physiological significance. By integrating Rachana Sharir’s anatomical perspective and Kriya Sharir’s functional insights, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Dhatus in Ayurveda.

Abstract: This paper provides an in-depth structural and functional analysis of the Prana Vaha Srotas (life energy channels) as described in Ayurveda, particularly focusing on its anatomical (Rachana Sharir) and physiological (Kriya Sharir) aspects. Prana Vaha Srotas, which facilitates the flow of Prana (life force), is intricately connected to the respiratory and circulatory systems. This analysis investigates the anatomical structures responsible for transporting Prana, examines their physiological roles, and evaluates their importance in the maintenance of life functions. Through a comprehensive review of classical Ayurvedic texts and modern interpretations, this study explores the Prana Vaha Srotas, emphasizing its key roles in sustaining life and maintaining the balance between body, mind, and soul.

Abstract: The concept of Agni, or digestive fire, is central to Ayurvedic medicine, linking the physical and metaphysical aspects of digestion and metabolism. This paper critically analyzes Agni through the lenses of Rachana Sharir (anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (physiology). By exploring the anatomical structures and physiological processes involved in digestion, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Agni influences health and well-being. This paper also examines the implications of an imbalanced Agni and its correlation with various health conditions. Through a detailed review of Ayurvedic texts and contemporary studies, we underscore the importance of maintaining a balanced Agni for optimal health.

Abstract: Srotas, or channels, play a fundamental role in the human body, as understood in Ayurvedic science. The anatomical and physiological aspects of Srotas provide deep insights into how various body functions are carried out. This paper explores the structural (Rachana Sharir) and functional (Kriya Sharir) correlations of Srotas, examining their significance in maintaining health and managing diseases. By analyzing these body channels from both anatomical and physiological perspectives, this paper will highlight how disruptions in Srotas contribute to various health issues. The research focuses on major Srotas, their location, function, and associated disorders, providing a comprehensive understanding of their roles in maintaining the balance of Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and overall body systems.

Abstract: Dhatus (tissues) form the foundational elements of the human body in Ayurveda, linking Rachna Sharir (Anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (Physiology). This paper explores the concept of Dhatus, their formation, and their functions within the body. It discusses how the seven Dhatus—Rasa (plasma), Rakta (blood), Mamsa (muscle), Meda (fat), Asthi (bone), Majja (marrow), and Shukra (reproductive tissue)—are structurally constituted and physiologically interconnected. The paper highlights the role of Dhatus in maintaining homeostasis and their involvement in disease processes when imbalanced. It also addresses the therapeutic approaches in Ayurveda to maintain Dhatu equilibrium, including dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and specific treatments for Dhatu-related disorders.

Abstract: Doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—are fundamental to the understanding of Rachna Sharir (Anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (Physiology) in Ayurveda. This paper delves into the influence of Doshas on both anatomical structures and physiological functions. Rachna Sharir is explored through the lens of Dosha predominance in various tissues and organs, while Kriya Sharir examines the regulatory role of Doshas in bodily functions such as digestion, metabolism, and neural activities. The interaction between Doshas and other physiological principles, including Agni (digestive fire) and Srotas (channels), is analyzed to provide a comprehensive view of Ayurvedic physiology. The paper also discusses the clinical implications of Dosha imbalances and their correction through diet, lifestyle, and herbal treatments.

Abstract: Rachna Sharir (Anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (Physiology) are integral components of Ayurvedic science, offering a holistic approach to understanding human biology. This paper explores the comparative aspects of Rachna Sharir and Kriya Sharir, elucidating their individual and interrelated roles in maintaining health and diagnosing diseases. The theoretical framework draws on classical Ayurvedic texts, highlighting key anatomical concepts such as the Srotas (channels), Marma (vital points), and Dhatus (tissues). It also examines physiological principles including Dosha (bio-energies), Agni (digestive fire), and Mala (waste products). Practical applications are discussed, with a focus on how these principles guide Ayurvedic diagnostics and treatment strategies. The paper concludes with a discussion on the modern relevance of these concepts, suggesting ways to integrate Ayurvedic anatomy and physiology into contemporary medical practice.

Abstract:-Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, is founded on the principle that the human body is a microcosm of the universe and is composed of five fundamental elements known as Pancha Mahabhutas. These elements - Earth (Prithvi), Water (Ap), Fire (Tejas), Air (Vayu), and Ether (Akasha) - are believed to play a crucial role in maintaining human health and well-being. This paper aims to elucidate the significance of Pancha Mahabhutas in human anatomy as described in Ayurveda. Through an exploration of the elemental composition of the human body, the interplay between these elements, and their role in maintaining physiological balance, this paper provides insights into the holistic approach to healthcare in Ayurveda.

Abstract:- Kriya Sharir, also known as the "science of human anatomy and physiology" in Ayurveda, holds a prominent place in traditional Indian medicine. Within the framework of Kriya Sharir, prana, the vital life force, is considered fundamental to the functioning of the human body. This paper aims to explore the role of prana in Kriya Sharir from an integrative perspective, bringing together insights from Ayurveda, yoga, and contemporary scientific research. By examining the concepts of prana, its pathways, and its impact on physical and mental well-being, we seek to enhance our understanding of the intricate relationship between prana and Kriya Sharir.

Abstract: Anemia, defined as a low haemoglobin (Hgb) level in the blood, is frequent in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is an independent and specific predictor of in-hospital or long-term mortality in AMI patients. There is considerable evidence available addressing the significant consequences of anaemia in AMI patients. Nosocomial anaemia is caused mostly by a lack of immunity; patients grow weaker and more susceptible to nosocomial anaemia as a result of chronic renal disease.

Abstract: Sara is a one-of-a-kind notion revealed in Ayurveda. It is a fundamental or exceptional component of Dhatu (tissues). Sara Parikshana (Examination) is critical for ruling out Dhatu's Bala (strength). The skin is the body's biggest organ. As a result, skin care can have a direct impact on our general health. Skin serves as a protective shield and is the most sensitive to environmental factors. It is influenced by many elements than we may realise. As a result, skin care is essential.Rasasara is defined as a Twakasara by Dalhanacharya since the activities of the Rasa Dhatu are best carried out through Skin. Twakasara's physical characteristics are entirely focused with skin on body hair. Physical beauty makes such a strong first impact on the mind that we may go well beyond appearances and begin making assumptions about a person's prosperity, position, parenting, and intellect, even if these beliefs turn out to be false.To grasp the strength or weakness of our appearance, we must recognise the power of first impressions, i.e. Twakasarata. It has an impact on how we see and treat people. It takes a lot to modify our opinion of someone once we've formed one. We would be able to preserve the skin's health by using skin knowledge and Twakasarata.
