A literary study of Avedhya Sira W.S.R to Urdhvajatrugata Avedhya Sira

The concept of Avedhya Sira, as delineated in classical Ayurvedic texts, represents a significant aspect of Ayurvedic anatomy, emphasizing non-puncturable vessels crucial for the sustenance of life. Among these, the Urdhvajatrugata Avedhya Sira, located in the head and neck region, plays a vital role in safeguarding sensory and motor functions, alongside the protection of Marma points. These structures correlate closely with modern anatomical entities such as carotid arteries, jugular veins, and cranial nerves. This literary study delves into the ancient descriptions of Urdhvajatrugata Avedhya Sira, drawing correlations with contemporary anatomical structures to underline their clinical relevance. The study explores the Ayurvedic classification of Sira, their physiological functions, and their embryological origins, establishing their importance in preventing injury that could lead to irreversible consequences such as sensory loss or neurological deficits. Integrating classical wisdom with modern science, this research contributes to a holistic understanding of head and neck anatomy and informs safer medical and surgical practices.
