Abstract

Ayurveda is the ‘Science of Life’ and its main aim is to maintain healthy status of healthy living being, i.e., prevention of disease and treatment of disease. As per Ayurvedic Science, Sharir is made up of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. A person is said to be healthy, when there is a balance state of Doshas, Agni, Dhatus and Malas. All the physiological processes in the body are well functioning and whose soul, senses, mind are full of bliss.Human body is made up of Sapta Dhatus and Shukra Dhatu is seventh among Sapta Dhatu. Among Sapta Dhatu, Shukra Dhatu is considered as the Sara of all other Dhatus. As every Dhatu is located in the entire part of the body, Shukra Dhatu also occupies the whole body. All Dhatus have their definite location in the body without any sexual discrimination. So Shukra Dhatu being one among Sapta Dhatu is present in both the sexes. Therefore, this study was taken into consideration which has main objective to review the concept of presence of Shukra Dhatu in the body without any sexual discrimination and to understand different terminology explained in different Ayurvedic classical texts such as Shukra Dhatu, Shukra, Stree Shukra etc.
