Sharira-sthana, the second section of Vagbhata’s Astanga Hrudaya (circa 6th–7th century CE), lays out classical Ayurvedic anatomy and physiology. Written in concise sutras, it treats embryology and growth, the seven dhatus, srotas (channels), dosha dynamics, lifespans and factors shaping prakriti (constitution). Key themes are the interdependence of dosha–dhatu–agni–ojas, principles of development and decay, and guidance for preserving health from conception onward. Historically it synthesizes earlier Charaka–Sushruta insights into a practical, holistic life‑science. Today Sharira‑sthana remains relevant for personalized medicine, prenatal care, preventive lifestyle guidance and integrative approaches that connect traditional wisdom about constitution and balance with modern health needs.
