ASESSMENT OF RELATION BETWEEN DEHABALA AND SHUKRA SARATA IN MARRIED MALES

Abstract

The growth and existence of the human body is dependent on these seven Dhatus. These seven Dhatus are composed of five elements or Panchmahabhutas. Dhatu Sarata or Tissue excellence is a quality assessment of seven dhatu. Examination of Dhatu Sarata is done at physical and psychological level. Here ‘Shukra’ not only as reproductive tissue but as a whole representation of mental, physical & spiritual aspects of reproduction is very important. The completely healthy aspects of all these are manifested in Uttam Shukra sara person. For determining the sarata, when the positive features are present above 75 %, it will be considered as best tissue quality (Uttam Sarata). When the positive features are present between 75 % and 25 %, it will be considered as moderate tissue quality (Madhyam sarata). When positive features are present below 25 %, it will be labelled as poor tissue quality (Heen sarata). The bodily movements which are meant for producing firmness and strength in the body are known as Vyayama or physical exercises. ‘Dehabala’ (Physical fitness)of subjects will be determined by Harvard step test. “Harvard Step Test” is a practical application of Ayurvedic Principal that “Bala should be measured by vyamshakti” (Balam Vyayamshakty Parikshet). The person should be examined with reference to his capacity for exercise which is determined by one’s ability to perform work. Therefore this study will estimate Dehabala and study the Shukra sarata and their association between them.
