Abstract

As roots of tree are very important for maintenance, stability and growth similarly Dosha, Dhatu and Mala (Three bio energies + seven body tissues + three wastes) are very important for maintaining human body. Shukra Dhatu is one of the seven Dhatus in the body. According to them Garbhotpadana (reproduction) is chief function of Shukra Dhatu. Shukra Dhatu is one of Pranayatanas of Sharira. Shukra Pramana (Quantity) of Shukra in human body is half anjali. Well nourished Dhatus give strength to maintain health and immunity. The strength of body and mind can be evaluated by Dhatusarata. Dhatu Sarata is qualitative, quantitative and functional assessment of Dhatus. Shukra Sara person is known to possess unctuous (Snigdha), compact (Samhat) and white (Shweta) bones (Asthi), teeth (Danta), nails (Nakha), and has excessive sexual desire and children (Bahula Kamapraja).
