A CONCEPTUAL REVIEW ON MAMSA DHATU WITH IT’S APPLIED ANATOMY
*Dr. Umakant Sudhakar Chaudhari
ABSTRACT The most unique feature of ayurvedic concept of tissue formation is that each human tissue is formed from the previous tissue in ascending order of complexity. Thus when food is ingested it is digested. Until in the small intestine, it becomes the liquid chyme-like material known in Ayurveda as ahara rasa, or food essence. Each dhatu has its own agni, i.e. dhatvagni. Our food intake is converted into life sap or rasa by rasadhatvagni and rasa dhatu is produced. Likewise, agni of rakta dhatu prepares rakta dhatu out of rasa dhatu and so on. Every dhatu is precursor of the next dhatu. Rasa is transformed into rakta, rakta prepares maṃsa, maṃsa is further transformed into meda, meda is used to make asthi, asthi forms majja and majja produces the ultimate dhatu i.e. śukra.
