Dhatus (body tissues)

Seven fundamental body tissues according to Ayurveda, formed successively from digested food: rasa (plasma), rakta (blood), mamsa (muscle), meda (fat), asthi (bone), majja (marrow) and shukra (reproductive tissue). Their harmonious nourishment conditions health and Ojas. The rejuvenation cures of palace retreats seek to rebuild these dhatus after the purification phase.
