Abstract :

Ayurveda is the ancient holistic medical approach which aims towards maintaining the health in its utmost normalcy by various preventive regimes to be adopted rather than treating and curing the diseases. The chief objective of Ayurveda is to prevention instead of the cure and treatment. Various ancient authors of Ayurveda have written Samhitas regarding the preventive and curing the ailments if occurred. The body as per Ayurveda is made up of basic components called Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. Doshas in them are chief motors whereas the Dhatus are said to be bodily various forms of tissues and Mala are the excretory products of metabolic processes. Ayurveda described 3 Doshas viz. Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Seven Dhatus viz. Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja, Shukra, and 3 Mala viz. Mutra, Sweda, Purisha. The Doshas appear to be the motive subtle energies to drive the changes in the Dhatus, to make them in motion and to regulate their functions in normalcy but creation of diseases by vitiating them in their affected forms. Again the Dhatus appear to be the tissue getting transformed and developed as per body demands and needs. The transformation processes end up with the desired outcomes as qualitative and /or quantitative change in the Dhatus with the production of metabolic wastes called Mala. The first Dhatu described is Rasa. The article reviews the Dhatu Rasa conceptually.
