Abstract

Background: Guda is the terminal part of the large intestine. Guda is a passage through which excretes the flatus and faeces. It is one of the Bahirmukh Srotas, Pancha Karmendriyas, Dashpranayatanas and also Muladhara Chakra which is placed in the pelvic region. Guda is characterized as Moola of Purishvaha Srotas and is also related to Annavaha Srotas. Aim: To elaborate literary review of Guda Pradesh with the correlation of anatomical significance described in Ayurveda to contemporary science. Discussion: Acharya Charak mentioned the Guda in one of 15 Koshthhangas. He considers two parts that are Uttar Guda and Adhar Guda. Embryologically it is obtained from Matrij Bhava. The total length of the Guda is 4 and ½ Angulas. There are three Valies named Pravahini, Visarjani and Samvarani which present inside the Guda at a distance of one and half Angulas from each. Guda is related to Purishdhara Kala. Acharya Sushruta mentioned the Guda as a Marma and considered it as Sadhyapranahara Marma. The diseases related to Guda are Arsha, Bhagandara, Parikartika, Nadivrana, Gudabhramsha, Sanniruddha Guda, Gudavidradhi etc. Guda is one of the Sthana of Apana Vata, and the best Chikitsa of Vata is Basti karma. Basti is administered through the Guda. Conclusion: In this regard, it is concluded that knowledge of Guda as described in Charak Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridayam is scattered from here, and it is very helpful for understanding the anatomical positions, diseases and pathogenesis as well as treatment.
