Understanding Asthisara in Ayurveda Evaluation Method and Clinical Applications

Examination is a pivotal aspect of clinical practice, assisting physicians in accurate diagnosis and selection of appropriate treatments. Ayurveda Samhitas detail various types of Pareekshas, one of which is Sara Pareeksha, described in the context of Dasavidha Pareeksha. The Lakshanas of eight types of Sara have been outlined. Sara represents the Vishuddha Tara of Dhatu, meaning the purest form of a Dhatu. Examining Sara allows us to analyse the qualitative aspect of the Dhatu. Based on the Lakshanas, individuals can be categorized as Pravara, Madhyama and Avara Sara, aiding physicians in assessing the strength of Dhatus and predicting the clinical course of a disease. This article reviews the concept of Sara, specifically Asthisara, and its importance in clinical practice.
