Flow of Blood- was it a western discovery ? - by - Dr. Muzumdar M.D

[Guest guest]

There are two well-known references to the flow of blood and its relation to heart in the Ayurvedic scripturesThe FIRST one is from Ashtang Hrudaya which is as follows-Vyano Hrudee Stita Krutna-dehachari Mahajava (Ashtang Sangrah Sutra-Sthana Chapter 12 Shloka 6)which means that Vyana Vayu stays in the Heart and it moves simultaneously in the whole body with great forceANDThe SECOND one is from Charaka Samhita which is as follows-Vyanen Rasa-Dhaturhi Vikshepochit- Karmana Yugapat Sarvato-Ajasram Dehe Vikshipyate Sada (Charaka Samhita Chikitsa-Sthana Chapter 15 Shloka 36)which means that Vyana Vayu circulates the fluid components of Rasa Dhatu ie. inclusive of blood components throughout the whole body simultaneously and continuously with great force.If we co-relate both these references ,I think the fact is self-explanatory.As far as taking / giving the credits of discovery is concerned, it could be

the ignorance of Oriental sciences or suppression of the previously known facts for self-credits. There are plenty of instances in history where competing researchers / scientists have tried to rob the credits of others by passing the work as their own discovery.Dr. MuzumdarM.D.(Ayurvedic Medicine)
