===Circulation of rasa dhatu===

The ''rasa dhatu'' is circulated through twenty-four ''dhamani'' (vessels) originating in the cardiac region. The upper and lower part of body is nourished by ten vessels each. The remaining four nourish lateral parts of body. [Su. Sa. Sutra Sthana 14/3] All the twenty-four vessels are described in a separate chapter named ''‘dhamanivyakarana sharira.''[Su.Sa.Sharira Sthana 9] ''Vyana vayu'' carries out the circulation of ''rasa dhatu''. [Cha.Sa.~~ChikitsaSthana~~ 15/36]

Heart of the fetus is linked to the mother’s heart through the ''rasavahi'' (the channels carrying nutrients.) The fetus expresses its wishes to the mother through these channels. [Cha. Sa. Sharira Sthana 3/15].

During the eighth month of gestation, the ''ojas''(vital essence) is unstable. It moves from mother to fetus and from fetus to mother through these channels.[Cha. Sa. ~~ShariraSthana~~ 3/24].

'''''Rasavaha srotas:'''''

~~Rasavahasrotasa~~ is the transport system of circulating rasa all over the body. It originates from the heart and circulates rasa through ten vessels. [Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 5/8] The same organs and channels form ~~pranavahasrotasa~~. [Su. Sa. Sharira Sthana 9/12]. This means the heart and channels transporting rasa also carry prana (vital force) in the body.
