Introducing the 7 tissues
according to Ayurveda
Just as a car needs a variety of components and fluids to function properly, the human body is also made up of various interdependent components that require nourishment and maintenance for optimal functioning.
Each tissue (dhatu) can be likened to a specific part of the car that needs attention:
The lymphatic tissue (rasa dhatu)is like the fuel that powers the engine.
The blood (rakta dhatu) as the oil that keeps the engine lubricated.
The muscle tissue (mamsa dhatu) as the tires that provide support and mobility.
The fat tissue (meda dhatu) as the battery that provides energy.
The bone tissue (asthti dhatu) as the chassis that gives structure and support.
The reproductive tissues (shukra dhatu) as the transmission that enables reproduction.
Just as regular maintenance of a car's components ensures that it operates at peak performance, a holistic approach to nourishing and caring for each dhatu is necessary to achieve optimal health and well-being.
Also, it is believed that the body prioritizes the health of the dhatus in a specific order, and that each dhatu builds upon the one that comes before it.
By understanding the role of the specific dhatu in the body and its characteristics and applying the foods, practices, herbal remedies, mindfulness techniques and lifestyle habits, you can create sustainable practices that support your health and well-being for the rest of your life.
Lymphatic Tissue
The lymphatic tissue, or the vital fluid circulates in the body, provides nutrition and moisture to all the tissues. An imbalance in the lymphatic tissue can result in various health problems, such as dehydration, malnutrition, weakness, fatigue, and anemia.
When the lymphatic tissue is in balance, it provides a proper hydration and nourishment to the body, maintaining the overall health and vitality.
Blood
The blood tissue is responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. It also helps in removing waste and toxic products from the body and plays an important role in maintaining the body's overall health and vitality.
An imbalance can lead to various health problems, such as anemia, low blood pressure, weakness, fatigue, and skin problems such as rashes, eczema, and acne.
Muscle Tissue
The muscle tissue is responsible for providing strength and support to the body. It also helps in maintaining the body's shape and structure.
An imbalance in the muscle tissue can result in various health problems, such as muscle weakness, wasting, and stiffness. It can also lead to chronic pain and inflammation, especially in the joints.
Fat Tissue
The fat tissue is responsible for storing energy and insulating and lubricating the body. It also helps in maintaining the body's overall health and vitality.
An imbalance in the fat tissue can result in various health problems, such as obesity, digestive issues, and skin problems. It can also affect the body's ability to absorb nutrients and store energy.
Bone Tissue
The bone tissue is responsible for providing structure and support to the body. It also helps in protecting the internal organs and maintaining the body's overall health and vitality.
An imbalance in the bone tissue can result in various health problems, such as osteoporosis, joint pain, and arthritis. It can also affect the body's ability to provide structure and support, and can lead to a decreased ability to perform physical activities.
Bone Marrow/Nerve Tissue
The bone marrow/nerve tissue is responsible for producing blood cells, including red and white blood cells. It also helps in maintaining the body's overall health and vitality.
An imbalance in this tissue can result in various health problems, such as anemia, weak immune system, neurological problems and chronic fatigue. It can also affect the body's ability to produce healthy blood cells and maintain good health.
Reproductive Tissue
The reproductive tissue is responsible for producing and maintaining the quality of the reproductive fluids, such as semen and ovum. It also helps in maintaining the body's overall health and vitality.
An imbalance in the reproductive tissue can result in various health problems, such as infertility, low libido, and impotence. It can also affect the body's ability to produce and maintain healthy reproductive fluids, and can lead to decreased fertility and sexual function.
