Abstract
Maintenance of health in healthy persons is a very challenging task now a days. One of the aim of Ayurveda is putting quality and consistency of health in a disease free individual. There are seven dhatu described in Ayurveda and every dhatu has its specific function and normalcy of these functions lead to Swastha (health). Due to vitiation of dosha, dhatu may be affected if dosha-dusya sammurchana (amalgamation of attributes of vitiated dosha with body tissues causing qualitative and quantitative changes) occurs and results in generation of disease. Use of Rasayana dravya helps in achieving healthy dhatu and dhatuvaha srotas. Rasyan dravya include those all measures which give best status to the body tissues, so that body could withstand disordered/diseased phase with ease and rapidity and normal physiology of body is achieved.
