Abstract

Elemental analysis in simple words refers to research which consists of development of knowledge which results in new concepts, methodologies, and understandings through creative applications of existing information. This can be done with the help of synthesis and analysis of previous research which may lead to new and creative outcomes. Now a day it is the need of hour in the field of Ayurveda. Ayurveda research focuses to create a scientific approach towards the concepts and fundamental principles mentioned in the Ayurvedic classics, along with needful adjustments to maintain the basic principles of Ayurveda. The doubtful concepts from Ayurvedic Samhitas can be solved by literary research. On an academic platform, the basic principles of Ayurveda which are mentioned in the Ayurvedic texts should be loud and clear. As knowledge of Rachana Sharir is the most important aspect before any treatment in Ayurveda, hence, to clear the doubts in this field, this article has been written which is aimed to the areas in Rachana Sharir that need to be clarified through research. The concept of Rachana Sharir includes ancient neuroanatomy as Nadi Tantra, Marma (Vital Points of the body), sukshma (Micro), and sthula (Macro) sharir, applied aspects of shad chakras, srotas (Body channels), Avedhya sira (Non punctures Vein), Kala sharir (Membranes), etc.
