Kavita Kanyal* and Vijay Shankar Pandey
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The aim of Ayurveda is to protect the Dhatusamya in man as described in Charak Samhita- one of the renowned Ayurvedic classical texts. Dhatus are those constituents that support the body. These also serve as food for the other Dhatus and nourish it. Well-nourished Dhatus give strength to the body & and maintain health and Vyadhikshamatava. A rupture in this intended healthy condition is caused by Dhatuvaishamya which is a disruption of the homeostasis of Dhatus and eventually causing the emergence of disease. Consequently, an excessive or diminished presence of Dhatus can significantly diminish the body's Vyadhikshamatava. To fully comprehend the role of Dhatus in either strengthening or weakening the body's ability to resist diseases, it is imperative to gain a thorough understanding of the process by which Dhatus are formed, as well as the properties and functions they possess. Aim & Objective: Study of the relation of Dhatu and Vyadhikshamatava. Method: In light of the instructions given by the CCIM/Government of India for preventing COVID panic, this study was started in 2021 as a Dissertation. Result: The results suggest that maintaining the strength of these Dhatus is crucial for overall health. Conclusion: The state of Dhatusamya is important to know and preserve because it is considered to be synonymous with Arogya (good health) and enhances Vyadhikshamatava.
