A Conceptual Study of Dhatu Poshan Nyaya (Metabolic Transformation) in Ayurvedic Perspective

Abstract

This review enlightens future research and scientific approach of Ayurveda in  the context of Dhatu Poshna Nyaya (metabolic transformation and movement of  substances through cell membrane). The things that truly support a living body  are called dhatus. Dhatu denotes physical sustenance and food from the sole  Sara component of the Ahara Rasa. A dietary substance's metabolism refers to a  set of particular biochemical reactions that take place inside a living thing from  the time it is incorporated into a cell or tissue until it is excreted, some of which  are associated with tissue synthesis and other metabolic processes. Those who  break down tissue are said to be catabolic or anabolic, respectively. Numerous  explanations have also been put out in the case of Dhatu Poshan. Numerous ideas  have been developed regarding the process by which different nutrients are  ingested by the body. One should consider all of these Nyayas comparable to one  another.
