Upadhatus are secondary body tissues in Shariram. According to Ayurveda, there are few body tissues that perform specific function in the body but they are not as equally important as main 7 Dhatus for survival. Such tissues develop from and derive their nutrition from main Dhatus. For every upadhatu there is one parent Dhatu. Description of around 7 such tissues is available in various Ayurveda treatises.
