Vajikarana (Science of Aphrodiasic)

Vajikarana Chikitsa. Written by Dr Kranthi R Vardhan

Ayurveda Anatomy and Physiology are based on Three factors— Dosha (Basic Body Constituents), Dhatu (Body Tissues) and Mala (Body Wastes). Ayurveda believes that Dhatu give structure to the body and they are the ones who function for the body under the governance of the Dosha. In all, There are Seven Dhatus: Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Medho, Asthi, Majja and Shukra. From Rasa (Life Sap) the body develops Rakta (Blood), from Rakta it develops Mamsa (Muscles), from Mamsa is developed Medho (Fat), from Medho is developed Asthi (Bones), from Asthi the body develops Majja (Nervous System) and from Majja is generated Shukra (Reproductive elements in body).
