Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda & Alternative Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
In 21st century physicians prefer modern parameters to evaluate the cause of disease and recommend treatment without knowing strength of that patient. Hence occurrence of iatrogenic disease rate is increased now a day. Dashavidha atur pariksha was explained by Acharya Charaka to examine a patient in respect of prakruti, vikriti, sara, samhanana, pramana, satmya, sattva, aharasakti, vyayamasakti and vaya to determine his strength and the intensity of the disease before giving any treatment. Examination of dhatusara is one of them. The study was done to summarize importance of sara examination in rogi pariksha. Sara is mentioned for the assessment of bala and ayu. It was observed that Sara has been classified into categories depending upon the predominance of a particular dhatu in the body. Charaka and Vagbhatta have categorized the individuals in following three groups, sarva-sara, madhyam-sara and asar. Sarva-sara person is having optimum level of all the dhatus and asar person shows low level of all the dhatus so asar person should be treated to increase the respective dhatu by giving dhatu vardhaka aahar to bring back optimal level in all dhatus. Evaluation of bala of patient is very important for the determination of prognosis of the disease and for the determination of the dose of the drugs. It is concluded that physician should give equal importance to sara while examining a patient before giving any therapy.
