Abstract: Srotasa are channels or pores that nourish the whole body and are responsible for some particular function with respect to specific body parts. The Ayurveda Samhitas described anatomical and physiological concepts of Srotasa broadly. Srotasa mainly regulates the process of circulation in the human body. The Srotasa not only perform various functions, but a disturbance in Srotasa may also impart some pathological manifestation. Therefore it is essential to understand the physiological concepts of Srotasa. This article presents the Ayurveda perspective of Rasa vaha Srotasa and their physiological considerations.
