ABSTRACT

Sapta dhatu are present throughout the body but its proportion is different in different organs, hence they also have some specific sthanas in the body as Tri-doshas like meda dhatu on Udar (abdomen) and sphik (buttocks), Sukhra on face, maja dhatu on areas related eyes, rasa is related to skin throughout the body. This can be of great help while treating the Khalitya (hair loss) and Pailtya (Greying) in that area because here we are not only considering the Doshas but also the specific dhatus to be treated. It helps us to reach the sukshma samprapti of the disease. Palitya and Khalitya in certain areas can also be beneficial to understand the penetration of ushma in the deeper dhatus. If all these factors are taken into consideration it increases the chances of treating Khalitya and Palitya as is it said to be Asadhya in Madhav Nidan.
