==Origin (Srotomula)==
<p style="text-align:justify;"> Acharya described the two roots of every srotas. In context of udakavaha srotas, the roots are palate (talu) and junction of throat & chest (kloma). [Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 05/09] [Su. Sa. Sharira Sthana 09/12] [5]Acharya described these sites as root because in water imbalance, these organs first manifest the sign of thirst. The exact site of kloma is not defined but it’s the main controlling center for water regulation in the body. Acharya chakrapani described kloma as the site of thirst and mentioned that it is situated near the heart (hridyastha pipasa sthana).[Chakrapani on Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 05/08] Acharya Gangadhara described the site of kloma as the junction of throat and chest (Kantha urso sandhi). [Gangadhara on Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 05/08]
The name "kloma" can be applied to mediastinum that is located at above mentioned sites. [7]
Contemporary understanding of regulation of water is a feedback process involving the hypothalamus, the neurohypophysis, and the kidneys.[8] The main hormone that controls how much water the body retains is arginine vasopressin (AVP), commonly known as anti-diuretic hormone.[9]

<p style="text-align:justify;">'''Etiological factors behind srotas abnormalities (sroto dushti hetu)'''</p>
[Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 05/11]These factors are:
1. Intake of hot food (aushnyat)
2. Indigestion (aamat)
3. Fear (bhayat)
4. Excessive intake of alcohol (panat)
5. Intake of excessive dry food article (arishuksha anna sevanat)
6. Habit of withholding the urge in excessive thirst (trishnaya cha atipidanat)
All these factors contributed in dysregulation of water regulation.
