Abstract

According to Ayurveda the Sharir (human body) is made of seven dhatus i.e rasa (fliud), rakta (blood), mamsa (muscles), meda (fat), asthi (bones), majja (marrow) and shukra (semen). Shukra dhatu is the 7th and the last dhatu made in the body. Hence, we can say shukra dhatu is sara (essence) of all the dhatus, it is well spreaded all through the body. The shukra dhatu according to modern concept can be understood as the sexual power, the ejaculation, the erectile strength, the quality of sperms, the semen or we can say overall reproductive strength of the person. The action of Shukra dhatu in the human body is regeneration of species. Any vitiation in the Shukra dhatu affects this action. Thus, hampering the progeny.
