TWACHA SHARIR: AN INTEGRATIVE CLINICAL REVIEW OF THE SEVEN LAYERS OF SKIN IN AYURVEDA

Abstract

In Ayurveda, Twacha isn't just a simple skin barrier, it's a sophisticated, multi-layered system deeply connected to Rakta Dhatu and home to the Sparshanendriya. This article dives into a thoughtful analysis of Twacha Sharir, drawing from the Sushrut Samhita and Charak Samhita to unpack its embryological roots, layered anatomy, and links to diseases. It also connects these timeless ideas to modern dermatology, giving clinicians a practical bridge between ancient wisdom and today's practice.
