A CONCEPTUAL STUDY OF SNAYU SHARIR: A REVIEW
Abstract
Ayurveda is a science which requires a lot of research to establish its authenticity along withmodern medical science. The first step in this is to define the terms mentioned in Ayurvedic classics,especially the basic terms. The science cannot be implemented methodically if the terms are notproperly understood. Sharira Rachana is the subject which deals with a lot of anatomical terms and definingthese terms are important for application of the science. Snayu is a term which is explained elaborately inclassical texts,but it is unable to point out exact structure related with it in human body. During thisstudy, the references related to the Snayu are collected and tried to explain as a structure form. Literally theterm Snayu means to bind. It is explained as a structure which helps in binding the joints and helps the bodyin weight bearing. Structurally it has been described something like a fibrous in nature.
Key words: - Snayu, fibrous structure, Sharir Rachana,
