A clinical assessment of Dhatu with Nadi Parikshan
Abstract
According to Ayurveda, the human body's physiology revolves around the balance of the Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala.[1] Dhatu acts as both structural and functional components of body. It gives strength to the body and performs many functions including nourishment of body, circulation of biomaterials, holding up the organs, reproduction and maintenance of body frame, etc. In Ayurveda the method of diagnosis and reporting of various clinical parameters has been mentioned under pulse diagnosis. It is a very important diagnostic tool referred to as the Ashtvidhpariksha. The only non-invasive diagnostic approach that can identify the state of Dosha is the Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis; however, it takes a lot of regular practice.
