Abstract

Dhatu-Kshaya essentially refers to the reduction or depletion of the bodily tissues, which can lead to various health imbalances and disorders. According to Ayurveda, the Dhatus are interdependent, meaning that any disturbance in one Dhatu can affect the others. For instance, if there's depletion in Rasa Dhatu (the first bodily tissue formed from the digestion process), it can impact the subsequent Dhatus, leading to a cascade of imbalances. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of maintaining the balance of Dhatus through proper diet, lifestyle practices, and herbal remedies. Addressing Dhatu-Kshaya involves identifying the root cause of imbalance and employing holistic approaches to restore equilibrium and promote overall wellbeing. In real-world applications, understanding the concept of Dhatu- Kshaya can guide healthcare professionals and individuals towards personalized interventions aimed at replenishing depleted tissues and restoring health. This may involve dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, specific herbal formulations and other Ayurvedic therapies tailored to the individual's unique constitution and needs.
