Abstract:
Ayurveda has explained the physiological functions of human body under three elements viz. Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. Dosha, Dhatu and Mala form the essential components of the body. They are genrerated from Dhatu. They are nourished from Sara portion produced in nutrient fluid in Dhatuvaha srotas. It means they are not produced directly from Ahara rasa. Updhatus are important physiological units and are derived from Dhatus and resemble Dhatus in terms of structure, function and nature. Updhatus are sub tissues or secondary tissues in the body which serve as important components and have certain fixed functions to render. Dhatus are closely associated with the Updhatus.

Updhatus are sub tissues or secondary tissues in the body which serve as important components and have certain fixed functions to render. Dhatus are closely associated with the Updhatus.
Updhatus are derived from the first four Dhatus. Updhatus are finest product of Dhatu metabolism. Dhatavagni plays major role in metabolism of Dhatus and Updhatus. References related Dhatus are very less in Ayurvedic literature. In this conceptual study an effort is made to collect the information regarding the concept of Updhatus which is being scattered in Ayurvedic Samhitas. The basic concept of Updhatu and various Updhatus mentioned by different Acharayas has been collected in this study from various soures.
