Significance of Mamsa
Mamsa, in the context of Vaishnavism, refers to flesh or meat and is associated with demoniac behavior. Conversely, in Ayurvedic medicine, Mamsa primarily denotes muscle tissue, which plays a crucial role in various conditions and treatments. It interacts with other body systems, including Twacha (skin), and crucially influences health issues arising from imbalances in the body. Mamsa is also integral to the nourishment and formation of tissues and is one of the essential anatomical structures within Ayurvedic practices.1
