Sharir Rachana
The Sharir Rachana department focuses on the study of human anatomy and physiology from an Ayurvedic perspective. Sharir Rachana, which translates to "body structure," is an essential branch of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine.
In this department, students delve into the intricacies of the human body, exploring its physical structure, organs, tissues, and systems. They study the detailed anatomy and physiology of various body systems, including the musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory system, nervous system, and more.
The department aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the human body through both theoretical and practical approaches. Researchers may examine ancient Ayurvedic texts, such as the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, which provide detailed descriptions of the body's anatomical structures and their physiological functions. They also study the concepts of doshas (vital energies), dhatus (tissues), and malas (waste products) in relation to overall health and disease.
Furthermore, the Sharir Rachana department may explore the interconnections between the body, mind, and spirit, as Ayurveda considers these aspects to be intimately linked. Researchers may investigate the subtle energy channels known as nadis and the vital energy centers called chakras, which play a role in maintaining physical and psychological well-being.
The department may also conduct practical demonstrations and dissections to enhance the students' understanding of human anatomy. It may utilize Ayurvedic diagnostic techniques, such as pulse examination (nadi pariksha), to evaluate the balance of doshas and identify potential imbalances or disorders
Overall, the Sharir Rachana department is dedicated to deepening the knowledge and understanding of the human body's structure and function from an Ayurvedic perspective. It plays a crucial role in training Ayurvedic practitioners and researchers, as well as contributing to the advancement of Ayurvedic medicine as a whole.
