UNDERSTANDING ‘CONCEPT OF DHATU GATI AND POSHANA‘ AS MECHANISM OF TRANSPORT OF NUTRIENTS AND TISSUE FORMATION; IN GENESIS OF METABOLIC DISORDERS.

Dr. Sathe Kalpana Dilip

Abstract :

There are different theories described in Ayurvedic texts as Dhatu Gati (transport) and Dhatu Poshana (Transformation) Nyaya. Namely 1) Kshirdadhi Nyaya, 2) Kedarikulya Nyaya, 3) Khale Kapot Nyaya for transformation and transportation of nutrients. The mechanism of these theory and their scientific technical terms are explained in the paper. Also,discussions of dhaatu gati and dhatu poshana tantra is given. Dhatupradoshaja vikaara (Metabolic disorders) is due to Aadibalapravritta (by chance), shukrashonita sankramanam(inherted). Most metabolic disorders are autosomal recessive in transmission. Because of inherited reasons Dhatuposhana (Growth and development of tissues) gets deranged on their own quickly by birth or due to external factors as in Prameha (Diabetes); santarpan janya (Excessive feeding) or aptarpan (mall nourishment) janya (derived) awastha (conditions). If the clinical disturbance in Dhatu Gati, Dhatu Poshana and manifestations of all saptadhatvagni (transforming factors) studied well with evidence-based researches in collaboration with modern medicine, it will certainly idge the gap between two the knowledge of Metabolic disorders. Aim is to maintain Sharir dhatu samya (equiliium of bodily tissue) with Prashasta dhatu (Excellent tissue) for preciousness of health in life.
