A Histological Review on Raktadhara Kala and Raktavaha Strotas and Its Modern Correlation

Author: , DR ANNU CHAUHAN, DR AJITKUMAR S WAHANE, DR MANEELA SHARMA
Abstract: The word Kala has been used in many senses in Vedic & other ancient literature, Kala Sharira is an important part of Ayurvedic anatomy. Kala was first time described by Sushruta. He has explained kala as a barrier between dhatu and its ashaya. Kala is a thin membrane, which lines the internal cavity of the Ashayas (the organs that hold the vital elements), organs, blood vessels, and fibrous capsule of the joints, and so on. Rakatdhara Kala is 2nd in position and is described by Sushruta and other Acharyas. Kala sharira (anatomy and physiology of kala) gives us information about the important membranes and layers of the body which take part in many important functions of the body. It is explained that Raktadhara Kala holds the Raktadhatu (Blood) & present especially in sira (vessels), yakrita (liver) & pleeha (spleen) but which structure inside of them is responsible for Raktadhara Kala is not clearly mentioned. It is essential to correlate it with modern science & elaborate adequately and we also wanted to concentrate on the Raktadhara Kala relation with Mool Sthana of Raktavaha Strotasa (a vital component of the Raktavaha Strotasa). We have tried a critical analysis of the concept of Raktadhara Kala described by Acharya Sushruta. The concept is studied in conjunction with the study of histology. The histological aspect of the tissues that have similarity with Raktadhara Kala and with the Mool Sthana of Raktavaha Strotasa (a system that is related to circulation, production of blood) was also studied. According to Ayurveda, Strotasa (a system of channels) play an important role in a person's health. Strotovikriti (abnormality in a system of channels) lead to diseases. Kala and Strotasa are closely related. If we could correlate the Kala and Strotasa with the tissues, it will be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of many ailments.
