Ayurveda propounds the doctrine of srotas, depicting that living body is made up of inimitable channels into which carry biological fluids, energies, and impulses can be applied as well as nutrients and medicaments used time to time for therapeutic purposes. These channels or srotas loose their integrity, competence, inherent functioning due to day to day physiological wear and tear; environmental pollution, stress, diseases, it is essential to restore the competence of the channels by specialised care.
The classical idea of srotas system is comparable to the biomembrane system of body. Specialised care can help to improve functioning of the channels. Ayurveda propounds the theory of Samsodhana, (that is, biopurification) and speciaficially describes the pachkarma therapy that is the five full therapy in order to tackle the issues of impurity and incompetence of channels (srotas), if the channels are washed and purified periodically by appropriate samchodhana (biopurification procedures) are used form time to time, one can easily prevent many diseases.
Similarly if one attemps to purify the channels in morbid state one may successfully achieve the target of samprapathi vighatana (reverseval of pathogenesis) of a disease and a cure become possible.

It envisages not only visceral cleansing rather it aims at the total biopurification down to cellular level.
