1) The study evaluated sara (tissue integrity) in 100 patients from an Ayurvedic hospital and 50 healthy volunteers. 2) It found that sara decreases with age and was highest in healthy individuals, lower in outpatients, and lowest in inpatients. 3) The majority of patients had diseases of the asthi (bone) dhatu, followed by mamsa (muscle), rasa (fluid), majjā (bone marrow), rakta (blood), meda (fat), and śukra (reproductive tissue). 4) Pravara sara was seen mostly in asthi, mamsa, and majjā tissues, while madhy

2. INTRODUCTION
• Sara pariksa plays an important role to diagnose a
disease. “Sara sabdena visodhataro dhatur
ucchyate”. It means the perfectness of tissues
(dhatu) anatomically, physiologically and
immunologically. Disease means dhatu vaisamya
which is possible when sarata of dhatu will be
dearranged. So in different diseases by observing
the sarata we can know the severity of dhatu dusti
which is helpful for the diagnosis and prevention of
the disease.
• In our study we have tried to identify the
involvement of sara in relation with the different
dhatu gata vyadhis clinically.

3. PURPOSE
Clinical study was carried out with the
following aim and objectives:
• Sara Pariksha in the patient attending in the
Roga Nidan OPD
• Evaluating the Sara in the patients admitted in
IPD.
• Study of Sara pariksha in healthy volunteers.

4. METHODS
• All the patient were randomly selected from OPD
and IPD of Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital,

• Total 100 patients and 50 healthy volunteers were
registered for the study.
• All were divided into 3 groups as
Group A- 50 patients of IPD.
Group B- 50 patients of OPD.
Group C- 50 healthy volunteers.

5. METHODS CONTD...
• 50 patient for each group was selected for the
study to know about the affect on Sara with
special reference to the disease diagnosed and
in relation with the dhatu, upadhatu
pradoshaja Vikara in a specially designed
Performa.

symptoms along with presence of factors of

12. CONCLUSION
From the above study we can observe that
• Sarata decreases with the advancement of age.
• Pravar sara was observed maximum in healthy
individuals, followed by OPD and IPD patients
respectively.
• Madhyam sara was observed maximum in IPD patients
followed by OPD patients and healthy individuals
respectively.
• Avara sara was found in IPD and OPD patients but not in
healthy individuals.
• Maximum number of patient was found of Asthi dhatu
pradoshaja vikara followed by Mamsa, Rasa, Majja, Rakta,
Meda and Sukra dhatu pradoshaja vikara respectively.

13. CONCLUSION CONTD...
• Pravara sarata are found in Asthi, Mamsa, Majja and
Rasa dhatu respectively
• Madhyam sarata are found in Rasa, Asthi, Majja,
Mamsa, Rakta, Meda and sukra dhatu respectively
• Avara sarata are found in Rasa, Mamsa, Rakta, Meda,
Asthi, Majja, sukra dhatu respectively.
• It was observed that in all the patient that though the
disease comes under specific dhatu gata vyadhi but
sara of the other dhatu was also affected along with
the specific dhatu.
• Prakriti of a patient is related to sara which is related to
vikriti in a patient.
