Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Sara is a very important concept of Ayurveda by which quality of tissue is analyzed and one can predict what diseases are going to afflict the person more. It is one of the most important diagnostic tools included in the dashwidha pariksha. The main difficulty for proper assessment is that its examination is subjective and so accuracy and reproducibility becomes difficult. There is need of standardized examination technique so that one can get reliable results. Despite sara being such an important diagnostic tool not much efforts have been done to standardize the assessment of sara. An effort was made with this study to standardize the parameters of rakta sara described in Ayurvedic texts and to provide objectivity to rakta sara examination. For this, a specially designed proforma was formed and survey was performed in 372 healthy individuals. Based on scores obtained individuals were categorized into Pravar, Madhyama & Avara rakta sara. In this study, 16.94% individuals were found to be Pravara rakta sara, 79.03 % were madhyama rakta sara and 4.03% individuals were in range of avara rakta sara.
