Popis: The human body it has been composed of Doshas, Dhatus and Malas. For the maintenance of life these three plays an important role. Among these Dhatus has its main function in structuring the body and supports the body. The food material is first broken down and converted into an assimlable form called Aahararasa. This Aahararasa is then absorbed in the body and the Dosha, Dhatu, Mala are refurbished from it. The production of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala from Aahararasa takes place at micro level and can only be inferred from logical inferences. The Food substances undergo metabolic transformation by the effect of Jatharagni, Bhutagni and Dhatwagni. After this process the Paaka of the food occurs and it nourishes the Dhatus. This process of digestion at Micro level is called as Dhatuparinama. The metabolic transformation of food which is explained in contemporary science; it is also explained in Ayurveda. Acharaya Charaka explains ‘Dhatavo hi dhatvahara’ it means that the Dhatu produced by assimilating the food material i.e. Aahara Rasa is in itself the diet of different Dhatus and hence is responsible to maintain them in a healthy state.
