The clinical aspect of Dhatu
Abstract
The main components of human body are - Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. Dhatus facilitate movement, nourish the blood, and provide muscle cover for overall strength, flexibility, and smooth functioning of the body. Ayurveda has considered Jara or Vardhakya as a natural and inevitable process as well as a Swabhavajavyadhi (Natural disease). The study of the difficulties of animal ageing, particularly human ageing and old age, is referred to as geriatric (Gerontology) and geriatric (Geriatrics). Every substance in the world, both inanimate and alive, is ancient and ageing. Proper diet, exercise and lifestyle can create a balance among these three subtle essences, ensuring long life. In Ayurveda there are so many diet and regimen which can stabilized the condition of aging. By adopting some healthy lifestyle we can balance the state of Dhatus in the aging. As there are 7 Dhatus in the body, we can give different therapeutic procedure to enhance the Dhatus.
