Abstract

Hriday Sharir, or the study of the heart in Ayurvedic medicine, is a critical aspect of understanding human anatomy and physiology from the perspective of traditional Indian medicine. This review aims to synthesize classical Ayurvedic texts and contemporary research to provide a holistic view of Hriday Sharir. It discusses the anatomical and physiological conceptualization of the heart, its significance in health and disease, and the integration of Ayurvedic principles with modern medical insights.
