ABSTRACT

Our bodies contain a variety of lipid-rich tissues, such as Medo Dhatu, Majja Dhatu, and Vasa. The two functional components, Dharana and Poshana, are of significance to Vasa, Majja, and Medo Dhatu. Adipose tissue, or Medo Dhatu, is the fourth of the seven Dhatus that give the body its essential Snehana (grease and unctuousness). A separate Dhatvagni plays a critical part in this interaction as Dhatu, Upadhatu, and Mala arise. In this way, Medo Dhatvagni's actions framed the Medo Dhatu. Apart from cancer, santarpanaja vyadhies account for a greater percentage of deaths in developed societies. It may be caused by a variety of factors, including a sedentary lifestyle, tainted food, and pollution; in most of these illnesses, like Prameha and Sthoulya, meda is reported to shorten life expectancy. Although the specifics are scattered across the literature, ancient academics have expertly articulated the Meda Dhatu in their own special ways. In order to arrive at a logical conclusion, the current essay aims to gather references to Meda Dhatu and lipids from both contemporary and Ayurvedic literature.
