Significance of Capsule
The term "Capsule" is multifaceted, appearing in both Ayurvedic and health science contexts. In Ayurveda, it relates to the shoulder joint's loose structure, potentially leading to dislocation or reduced volume in conditions like frozen shoulder. Health sciences use the term to describe a variety of structures. It can refer to a bacterial polysaccharide layer, a solid dosage form for medication, or an ocular formulation. Capsules also encompass the outer covering of a cyst, a structural component of joints, a key virulence factor in certain bacteria, and a potential site of injury in whiplash.

Hindu concept of 'Capsule'
In Hinduism, the term "Capsule" may symbolize the shoulder joint's structure, crucial for movement. Its looseness can cause dislocations, while in frozen shoulder, its reduced volume and adherence of the synovial membrane restrict mobility.
