The Sapt Dhatus are responsible for the structure of the body. Which are useful for body building, nutrition and activities. These seven metals form the constituent organs of the body and are important for the physical structure and health of the body.
Manufacturing of sapt dhatu (metals) -
According to Sushruta, the substance that man eats, before that a subtle essence is formed in liquid form, which is called Rasa. Its place is called the heart. From here it spreads through the arteries to the whole body. This juice, mixed with fire, first takes the form of blood and then meat, fat, bone, marrow, Venus etc. are made from it. Whatever food we eat, after being digested by the digestive fire, it goes through many processes and turns into these metals.
In The ayurveda food we eat further gets divided into two parts – essence and feces. Essence means nutrients and energy obtained from food. So that our body can function properly. Feces refers to the waste that is formed after digesting food. Which has no contribution in the body, it comes out of the body in the form of feces. This essence of food reaches the blood with the help of air. Then it spreads through the blood in our body and forms metals.
All these metals are in a sequence. Each metal after being digested by fire converts into the next metal. Example - Like the food we eat first turns into juice (plasma) after being digested by the digestive fire. After this, plasma enters the blood and then muscles are formed from the blood. In the same way this sequence continues. Lastly, Shukra means reproductive tissues (semen, sperm) etc. are formed.
It is very important to cure the digestive fire in the body. Rasa Dhatu (Plasma) is the basic element in the formation of all these metals. Let us know in detail about each metal. The names of the seven metals and their functions are as follows -

The metal whose contamination causes disease, that disease is said by associating it with the name of that metal.
