Dr. Rahul Patil*

ABSTRACT

One who knows Shareer (i.e. anatomy and physiology of human body) in detail, only he can know and understand Ayurveda which can bring happiness to the universe.
In Sushruta Samhita, Acharya Sushruta has described the arrangements of human body in detail. He studied the human body by the technique of human body preservation and dissection which is very much different from today‟s method, Acharya Sushruta was the first to dissect human body. In Shareersthana of Sushruta Samhita, detail knowledge of human body is present. In Garbhavyakarana adhyaya, a detail description of Twacha Shareer is present.
