<div style="text-align:justify;">[[Sharira Sthana]] (or the Section on the Study of the Human Body) is the fourth section (''Sthana'') within [[Charaka Samhita]] and deals with various aspects of the human body. The human body as perceived by Charaka is different from modern concept of Anatomy. Review of description of this section clearly explains that the human body includes physical body, mind and consciousness. Subject contents of this section are divided into eight chapters dealing with a range of concepts revolving around a human being- basic composition of self, acquiring physical existence in womb, embryonic and fetal development, descent of psychological components during intra-uterine life, nutritional physiology, anatomical classification of body parts including anthropometry, care of pregnant woman, safe birth and general care of children. This section offers a bird-eye view of very highly evolved philosophical concepts to practical aspect of human body system.

The first chapter, [[Katidhapurusha Sharira]], holds several unique concepts, not mentioned in modern medical literature. Our body is a medium to prove our existence in this universe. It is not simply having its structural manifestation but several other components make it complete. Knowledge of evolution of our body from imperceptible entities to association of mind, sense organs, sense objects and consciousness; falls under the preview of this chapter. There is mention of very unique range of features which characterize things as living or non-living. Proper scaling/ranking of every feature may offer the exact nature of physical, physiological and psychological status of life. Reasons for any discomfort in life/for life along with method to get solution to keep the body and mind in healthy state, are described with proper explanation.
