Ayurvedic Purifying Elixirs

According to the traditional Ayurvedic knowledge, the human body is permeated by a system of physiological and energetic channels (srotamsi), which process food that we take in, secure the supply of nutrients to the bodily tissues (dhatus) and take care of the waste elimination from the body.

The Thirteen Bodily Channels (srotamsi)

The human bodily system consists of thirteen main channels (srotamsi). The first three include:

  • digestive system (anna),
  • airways (prana)
  • and the system of water metabolism (ambu).

Other seven represent channels that nurture seven bodily tissues (dhatus) and final three direct:

  • process of stool excretion (purisha),
  • urine elimination (mutrava)
  • and removal of toxins through sweat glands (sveda).

The fourteenth specific and complex channel is the psychophysical system (mano) that comprises the mind and sensory organs together with activity of the cardiovascular and neuroendocrine system. Finally, two more channels are to be found in the female body – for menstruation (rajah) and lactation (stanya).

This metabolic transformation takes place on the level of cells, tissues, organs, emotions, thoughts and mental consciousness, and finally projects itself on our health in the form of individual balance of the three biological principles (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).
