TWACHA SHAREER WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ITS THICKNESS -A MATHEMATICAL APPLICATION TO CO-RELATE ANCIENT & MODERN VIEW

Twacha (Skin) is a multilayered & multifunctional structure of the body. It might be the only structure of the body of which description & references are found in each & every textbook of Ayurveda. But only Sushruta is the author who described twacha in detail in Shareersthana of Sushrutasamhita. He has described not only each & every layer of twacha, but also thickness of these layers for the first time. It is the identity & uniqueness of Sushruta. As the description of twacha & its thickness is present in both ancient and modern sciences, obviously as a research point of view, there will be a curiosity to compare & co-relate this description. As a part of this curiosity, this is a simple & sincere attempt to co-relate thickness of twacha in both sciences.
