INTER-RELATIONSHIPS WITH MODERN SCIENCE AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE OF SAPTA DHATU

Abstract

Ayurveda, one of the oldest systems of medicine, originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It is a comprehensive system of healthcare that focuses on achieving optimal health and well-being through a holistic approach, encompassing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual. Ayurveda recognizes the importance of balance and harmony in the body, and the concept of "Sapta Dhatu" plays a crucial role in achieving this balance. Ayurveda says, "Swasthasya swasthya rakshanam, aturasya vikara prashamanam cha."1
