Abstract
Background: Dhatu Sarata is defined as the supreme quality & functional aspect of Dhatu. (2) Chakrapani described it as "Vishuddhatara Dhatu," which means the finest, purest & excellent state of Dhatu. It is the actual test to measure an individual's strength (physical and mental). On the other hand, Intelligence is a feature that is defined to describe a person's cognitive abilities concerning their Sarata. Aim: The Present study primarily deals with intelligence quotient (IQ) & its correlation with Dhatu Sarata through questionnaires & assessments with special reference to Rasa and Rakta Sarata. Material & methods: The present survey(Observational) study was conducted on apparently healthy individuals randomly selected from O.P.D/I.P.D. of Pt. Khushilal Sharma Government (Autonomous) Ayurvedic College and Institute, Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), including students and staff of the college and people living in the surrounding areas. All the volunteers who have Rasa or Rakta Sarata evaluated by Ayursoft software were further assessed for IQ with the help of the Wechsler Adult intelligence scale online test with 20 questions. A non-parametric test (Spearman Correlation) was used to explore the correlation between the two variables, i.e., Rasa Sarta &IQ and Rakta Sarta & IQ, as at least one of the variables. Result & observations: Out of 300 individuals, a total of 290 persons were found to be of Rasa Sara and Rakta Sara. There was a moderate correlation between Rasa Sarata & IQ, while Rakta Sarta and IQ showed a strong positive correlation. These positive findings obtained through this study validate the classical reference about the clinical manifestation of Rasa & Rakta Dhatusarata. Conclusion: Furthermore study can be carried out to find out its relationship with recent laboratory parameters. All remaining Dhatu Sarata can also be studied & compared with IQ level.
