Significance of Vascular system
The vascular system, as defined in both Ayurveda and science, encompasses the network of vessels essential for sustaining the body. In Ayurveda, it refers to the Siras, while science describes it as the system of arteries, veins, and capillaries that circulates blood and lymph throughout the body. This system is crucial for various functions, including influencing the response to inflammation, and is particularly relevant in discussions related to cardiovascular health and conditions like hypertension or menopause.
