A view over Saama Rasa Dhatu and its effects on body

Abstract

Ayurveda is the basic and the most ancient science of life in which it has been said that human body is chiefly composed of doshas, dhatus and malas. So, the basic step for the maintenance of health and for treating the diseases is the regulation of these three i.e doshas, dhatus and malas. Out of these dhatus play an important role in structuring the whole body, so these are said chief supports of the body. Out of all seven dhatus rasa dhatu plays the most important role because it is first forming dhatu and it is responsible for all next dhatus proper nutrition. All these three doshas, dhatus and malas are got vitiated due external factors (like changes in climate, bacteria, virus etc.) and internal factor mainly ama. Ama refers to raw, unripe, unprocessed state of food substance mainly manifest due to resultant of mandagni (hypo functioning of Agni). The formed ama manifests its effects either locally in gastro-intestinal tract or systemically by blocking the macro and micro channels and by inhibiting the production of proper form of all dhatus. Due to hypo-function of the agni, the undigested food residue is known as ama and when this ama amalgamates dhatus, this condition is known as saama and produces various signs and symptoms according to involved dhatu.
