Acharya Charaka stated that ‘Srotamsi’ means transport the ‘Dhatus’ which are undergoing metabolic transformations. Dosha viz. vata, pita and kapha (vitiating factors or physical humors), dhatu (rasa, rakta, mamsa, meda, asthi, majja, shukra) and mala (Mala, Mutra, Purisha) waste products are the basic building elements of the body. Srotamayam hi shariram’ means living body is channel or comprised of channels or system. Srotamsi are not only the passage or channels for flow of various substances but also Srotamsi are specific in their functions. Each Srotas provides nutrition to their respective dhatu only with requisite quantities and which represent the dhatu sarata.
