Abstract

This study presents an integrative analysis of Pranavaha Srotas (Respiratory Microchannels), correlating Ayurvedic concepts of respiratory channels with modern anatomical and physiological insights. Pranavaha Srotas, described in Ayurveda, pertains to the movement of Prana (life force) and is closely related to the func-tions of the respiratory system, including the nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi. The re-search undertakes a comprehensive literature review to explore the Ayurvedic perspective on Pranavaha Srotas and its comparison with modern biomedical descriptions of the upper respiratory tract. The analysis delves into the background, significance, and unique principles of Ayurveda, aiming to bridge the gap between these two knowledge systems. It highlights the role of Pranavaha Srotas in health and disease, emphasising its signifi-cance in contemporary respiratory conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The study offers a detailed comparative analysis, enhancing the understanding of respiratory channels through a holistic approach that in-tegrates Ayurvedic wisdom and modern scientific knowledge.
