Abstract: Dhatus (tissues) form the foundational elements of the human body in Ayurveda, linking Rachna Sharir (Anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (Physiology). This paper explores the concept of Dhatus, their formation, and their functions within the body. It discusses how the seven Dhatus—Rasa (plasma), Rakta (blood), Mamsa (muscle), Meda (fat), Asthi (bone), Majja (marrow), and Shukra (reproductive tissue)—are structurally constituted and physiologically interconnected. The paper highlights the role of Dhatus in maintaining homeostasis and their involvement in disease processes when imbalanced. It also addresses the therapeutic approaches in Ayurveda to maintain Dhatu equilibrium, including dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and specific treatments for Dhatu-related disorders.
Keywords: Dhatus, Rachna Sharir, Kriya Sharir, Ayurveda, Homeostasis
