Ayurveda, the most ancient science means knowledge of life which serves mankind by providing a comprehen- sive, natural and holistic cure for diseases related to mind and body. The aim of Ayurveda is not only to treat the disease but also to protect the health of the healthy individual as said in the classics i.e., “swasthasya swasthya rakshanam aturasya vikara prashmanam ch”. Health in Ayurveda is defined as an accurate amount of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. Any type of variations in quantity as well as quality leads to diseases. One of the dhatus i.e., Meda Dhatu is correlated with fat and lipid in modern science. This paper is about the method by which Meda Dhatu can be assessed according to Ayurveda.Keywords: meda, dhatu, swasthasya, assessment
