Abstract

Ayurveda is the traditional system of medicine originated in India thousands of years ago. Agni, Prakruti and Dhatusarata are some specialties of Ayurveda on which diagnosis, treatment and research are based. Dhatu sara parikshan is a good mirror to assess the properties and functions of dhatus. As per charak, one should not commit the mistake by deciding any person as strong or weak by merely looking at the good or weak buildup, but it depends on sara, meaning the excellent quality of dhatus. It is factually observed that some persons, who possess small body and leanness, are strong. Persons with different dhatusarata possesses different affinity and abilities towards certain tasks. Hence, by identifying one‟s dhatusarata, students can be counseled to choose a career suiting their interest and ability.
