SROTAS The term Srotas means canal or channels. The word Srotas applied for transportation or Secretion of materials. Example: - Water in canal flows from one place to another
VYUTPATTI The word Srotas drived from Sanskrit root. Sru means to secrete, to permeats or to flow. The structure through which substance is secreted or circulated or Transported is called SROTAS.
NIRUKTI ( DEFINITION ) » É´ÉhÉÉiÉ » ÉÉäiÉÉÆÊºÉ C.SU.30.12 1 . Srotas can be defined as a structure whose moolasthana (root) has KHA (CAVITY) in it. 2. Body Structure through which secretion takes place is called as Srotas
CONTI.... ACCORDING TO CHARAK – 1. Srotas as meaning thereby the structure through which Sravanam (Oozing , Filtering or Permeation) takes place.
FUNCTION OF SROTAS » ÉÉäiÉÉÆÊºÉ JÉ™Öü { ÉÊ®hÉɨɨÉÉ { Ét¨ÉÉxÉÉxÉÉÆ vÉÉiÉÚxÉɨÉʦɴÉɽýÒÊxÉ ¦ É´ÉxiªÉªÉxÉÉlÉæxÉ C.VIMAN5.3 Synthesis of Dhatu Transportation of nutrients of Dhatu Transformation of nutrients of Dhatu Excretion of waste Products is the the main function of Srotas .
COLOUR AND SHAPE OF SROTAS Colour of srotasas is similar to that of dhatus they carry. Srotas can be straight or tubular in shape. Some are in very small and some are very large.
CLASSIFICATION OF SROTAS TWO TYPES – Bahya Srotas Abhyantara Srotas BAHYA SROTAS :- Known as Nava Dwaras . Sevan in upper part of body and Two in lower part of body But Three Extra Bahya Srotas present in Women. So twelve Srotas are there.
CONTI.... Two Eyes Two Ears Two Nasal Passages One Mouth Anus The Urinary Tract Two Breasts acts as outlets for milk One Opening for Menstruation Blood
ABHYANTARA SROTAS These are the constituted insided the body only or may connected to outside environment through Bahya Srotas . Example – Annavaha Srotas connecting upward through the mouth and purishvaha Srotas downward to the anus.
CONTI... According to CHARAK 13 types OF SROTAS According to SUSHRUTA 11 types OF SROTAS- ACCORDING TO SUSHRUTA – Asthivaha , Majjavaha , Swedavaha Srotas not mentioned but added Artavavaha Srotas .
NUMBER OF SROTAS ª ÉÉ´ÉxiÉ : {ÉÖ¯þ¹Éä ¨ ÉÚÌiɨÉxiÉÉä ¦ÉÉ´ÉʴɶÉä¹ÉɺiÉÉ´ÉxiÉ B´ÉÉκ¨ ÉxÉ » ÉÉäiɺÉÉÆ |ÉEúɮʴɶÉä¹ÉÉ: C.VIMAN5.3 Srotas According to Charak Samhita Pranavaha Srotas Annavaha Srotas Udakavaha Srotas Rasavaha Srotas Raktavaha Srotas Mamsavaha Srotas
SROTOVAIGUNYA -VITIATION OF SROTAS The causes of vitiation of doshas are improper utilization of food , drink and activities by Individual . ACCORDING TO CHARAK If vitiation of doshas , it is also responsible for disturbing the the function and anatomical integrity of Srotas .
ACCORDING TO CHAKRAPANI Doshas when increased in quantity only vitiate others. When reduced in quantity they are unable to vitiate others.
IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY STATE OF SROTAS Vitiation of Srotas can derangement in the stable dhatu as well as Dhatu flowing through it. Vitiation of one Srotas can vitiate other Srotas and Dhatu Example – Disorder of Liver( Raktavaha Srotas ) always leads to disorder of Rakta Dhatu
CLINICAL IMPORTANCE OF SROTAS Roots of srotas are easily identified in the disorder of particular srotas . Example – In per abdomen Examination, Infective Hepatitis (jaundice) you can easily palpate and feel borders of infected liver in per abdomen Examination.
CONTI.... ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA Kamala is a disease of pitta dosha and Rakta dhatu hence symptoms of rakta dusti in kamala are manifested at the root of Rakta vaha Srotas in form of Hepatomegaly .
GENERAL SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF VITIATED CHANNELS Atipravritti – increased flow of the contents Sanga – obstruction to the flow Siragranthi – Dilatation with hardening . Vimarga gamana – flow of the contents in abnormal path or direction through channels other than its own. Example – Bahumutrata ( polyurea ) in prameha as atipravriti of mutravaha Srotas .
UDAKAVAHA SROTAS
UDAKAVAHA SROTAS INTRODUCTION – Body is the product of water where food , air and water are essential for the maintence of life. UDAKA is circulating through rasa – rakta complex, which has the important vital function of Preenana and jeevana .
UDAKAVAHA SROTOMULA =nüEú´É½ýÉxÉÉÆ » ÉÉäiɺÉÉÆ iÉÉ™Öü¨ÉÚ™Æü KúÉä¨É SÉ C.VIMAN.5.7 UDAKAVAHA SROTAS is two in number – TALU (Palate ) KLOMA (Pharynx) TALU means palate or the roof of your mouth. It is the first part which shows the sign of thirst, or a sign that body needs water.
CONTI... KLOMA - CHAKRAPANI MENTIONED – Klome is - PIPASA Sthana (THIRST CENTRE) Located - HRIDYA . ACCOR. TO VAIDYA SHABDASINDHU – Kloma is PHUPPHUSA and MASTISHKA. Trishna (thirst ranging from mild to severe thirst) Shosha (dryness of palate, throat, tongue, lips and gums) Marana (death due to severe dehydration)
UDAKAVAHA SROTAS (CONTROLLING STATIONS OF WATER) उदक वहे द्वे, तयोः मूलं तालु क्लोम च। तत्र विद्धस्य पिपासा सध्योमरणंच ।(सु.श.9/12 ) Charaka and Sushruta both mentioned- Talu and Kloma as the roots of Udakavaha srotas . They can be thought in two ways,
CONTI.... They can either be the controlling stations of water or regulation in the body. And the sites where the symptoms of water imbalance in the body are first manifested.
CAUSES FOR VITIATION OF UDAKAVAHA SROTAS: औष्ण्यात् आमात् भयात् पानात् अति शुष्क अन्न सेवनात्। अम्बु वाहीनि दुष्यन्ति तृष्णायाः च अति पीडनात्॥ (च.वि.५/११ ) Ushna aahaara vihara – Hot & junk foods and comforts Aama – due to presence of products of undigested food or metabolic toxins in the body are in circulation Bhayaat – fear
CONTI.... Paanaat – excessive consumption of alcohol Shushka anna sevana – consumption of dry foods Trushnaa peedana – habit of withholding the urge for drinking water or holding on to the urge of thirst frequently
SYMPTOMS OF VITIATION OF UDAKAVAHA SROTAS When Udakavaha Srotas gets vitiated or damaged, it causes symptoms Jihwa Shosha – Dryness or emaciation of tongue Talu Shosha – Dryness or emaciation of palate Oshta Shosha – Dryness or emaciation of lips
CONTI.... Kloma Shosha – Dryness or emaciation of wind pipe, or water regulating centres in the brain Kantha shosha – dryness and emaciation of the throat Ati pravriddam pipasa – severe thirst
VITIATION OF UDAKAVAHA SROTAS DUE TO DOSHA’S VITIATION OF VATA DOSHA Excess vitiation of Vata or the heat element of pitta increases, the fluid element present in the kapha and pitta dravyas will get dried up or evaporated .
VITIATION OF PITTA DOSHA Pitta too has elemental water in it. Thus, the elements and tissues belonging to Pitta i.e. Sweda (sweat) and rakta (blood, cellular part of blood) also have fluids in them, though in lesser proportions in comparison to the kapha elements.
VITIATION OF KAPHA DOSHA The Kapha varga dravyas are the ‘water rich tissues’ in the body. They are rasa (lymph, plasma, nutritional fluids in circulation), mamsa (flesh or muscles), meda (fat), majja (bone marrow), shukra (semen or reproductive tissue) and artava (menstrual blood).
CAUSES OF TRISHNA OR THIRST: Kshobha – physical or mental irritation Bhaya – Fear Shrama – Exertion, Exhaustion Shoka – Grief Krodha – Anger Langhana – Fasting in excess Madhya – Excessive consumption of alcohol Kshara – Alkalis Amla – Sour food Lavana – Salty foods
CONTI.... Katu – Spicy and pungent foods Ushna – Too hot foods and exposure to heat Ruksha Shushka anna – dry foods Dhatu kshaya – Depletion of body tissues Gadapakarsha – Being debilitated by a chronic illness Vamanadhyatiyogaat – Undergoing treatments like Vamana (therapeutic emesis) etc in excess
CONTI.... Surya santapa – Excessive exposure to Sun Balasamkshaya – Decrease of bala (strength or immunity) Pitta vivardhana – Foods and activities which bring about a pathological increase of Pitta
MECHANISM OF HYPOTHALAMUS MEDIATED THIRST An osmoreceptor is a sensory receptor, mainly found in hypothalamus. It detects changes in osmotic pressure. They detect changes in plasma osmolarity When the osmolarity of blood changes or water diffusion into and out of the osmoreceptor cells also changes.
CONTI.... When the osmoreceptors detect high plasma osmolarity (often representing a low blood volume), they send signals to the hypothalamus, Which creates the biological sensation of thirst and also stimulates Vasopressin (ADH) secretion, which in turn starts the events that will reduce osmolarity to normal levels.
FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE
INTRODUCTION The main fluid in the body is water. Total body water is 60% of body weight. The water is distributed in three main compartments separated from each other by cell membranes.
CONTI.... 3. The intracellular compartment is the area within the cell. 4. The extracellular compartment consists of the interstitial area and the inside of the blood vessels (plasma).
COMPARTMENTS OF BODY AND DISTRIBUTION OF WATER BY WEIGHT Plasma 5% Interstitial 15% Intracellular 40% Total 60 % Water Solids - 40% fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals
FLUID REQUIREMENTS SOURCES LOSSES Water 1500 ml Urine 1500 ml Food 800 ml Stool 200 ml Oxidation 300 ml Skin 500 ml Respiratory tract 400 ml Total 2600 ml Total 2600 ml
ELECTROLYTES IN BODY FLUID COMPARTMENTS INTRACELLULAR EXTRACELLULAR POTASSIUM SODIUM MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE PHOSPHOROUS BICARBONATE
OSMOLALITY DEFINITION : Concentration of particles ( osmotically active) in solution. It is usually expressed in milliosmoles of solute per kg of solution. Osmolality ( mOsm /Kg) of dilute solutions approximate osmolarity ( mOsm /L) Plasma : 280-300 mOsm /Kg Same in all body compartments
BALANCE Fluid and electrolyte balance is maintained in the body by— neutral balance - input = output positive balance - input > output negative balance – input < output
BODY FLUIDS Electrically neutral Osmotically maintained Specific number of particles/ vol. of fluid HOMEOSTASIS is maintained by- ion transport water movement kidney function
