Episode 272: The Food Channel and the Subdoshas (Anna Vaha Srotas)
The Srotas are channels in the body through which the doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha move. There are many types of srotas in the body from the subtle energetic channels called nadis to the largest channel in the body, Maha srotas, the gastrointestinal tract.
In this episode Colette explains the main channels of the body and she focuses on anna vaha srotas, the food channel. She details what happens when we eat and the journey through the food channel and the subdoshas involved which includes:
bodhaka kapha
prana vayu
sadhaka pitta
kledaka kapha
samana vayu
pachaka pitta
ranjaka pitta
apana vayu
Colette also discusses the four types of imbalances which can occur in the srotas/channels and how they can manifest in the anna vaha srotas.
