'''Importance of knowledge of dhatu in clinical diagnosis and treatment''':
'''Assessment of sara (excellent quality of dhatu)''':
Sara means the excellent quality of dhatu. It is highly related with the health of tissue and endurance to pathogens. The excellent quality depends upon dhatvagni (metabolism). It is one of the assessment parameters to determine strength of an individual in ten-fold examination. The individuals are categorized on the basis of predominance of a particular dhatu astwaksara, raktasara, mamsasara, medosara, asthisara, majjasara and shukrasara. [Cha.Sa. Vimana sthana 8/102]
