'''Nourishment of dhatu''':

−

The dhatus are formed from prasada (first transformed food into ahara -rasa (nutrient fluid). This nutrient fluid nourishes body components in sequential pattern. It first nourishes the [[rasa dhatu]], then [[rakta]], then [[mamsa]] etc. The nutrients present in the food nourish respective dhatu qualitatively and quantitatively. [Cha. Sa. Sutra Sthana 28/4]

It first nourishes the [[rasa dhatu]], then [[rakta]], then [[mamsa]] etc. The nutrients present in the food nourish respective dhatu qualitatively and quantitatively. [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 28/4]

Furthermore, during the process of metabolism, dhatus undergo a specific pathway through their own characteristic digestive enzymes termed as ‘dhatvagni. In this process, each dhatu gets converted into two parts: poshya(which nourishes itself) and poshaka (which nourishes others). The poshya fraction is responsible for dhatu’s own nourishment and functions. The poshaka fraction nourishes further other dhatus.

Line 100: Line 100:

Upadhatu (by products) and [[mala]](waste products) are also formed in this dhatu metabolic process.

Thus, each dhatu nourishes its next sequential dhatu.[Cha. Sa. Chikitsa sthana 8/39]
