=== Tattva Vimarsha ===
=== ''Tattva Vimarsha'' ===
*''Srotasa'' are the basic biological transport and transformation systems in the body.
*''Doshas'' can pervade in these biological systems and also affect them due to their own causes.
*The roots of ''srotasa'' shall be considered while treating a disorder pertaining to specific ''srotasa''.
*Diet and lifestyle that are similar in properties of ''dosha'' and dissimilar in properties of ''dhatu'' cause morbidity in ''srotas''.
Therefore the causative factors of a disease are similar in properties of ''dosha'' and dissimilar in properties of ''dhatu''. The management shall be designed accordingly.
*Increased flow or obstruction or formation of nodules and flow of bodily fluids or contents in the wrong or opposite direction are the features of morbidity of ''srotas''. Diagnosis of these shall be done first before designing management protocol.
