In Hinduism

Ayurveda (science of life)

Āhārasa (आहारस, “food essence”).—After food is digested, the āhā-rasa (essence of food) is absorbed and carried into the circulation of blood. This āhā-rasa replenishes the Rasa-dhātu already circulatin with blood. The former is known as ‘poṣaka-rasa’ and the latter as ‘poṣya-(sthāyi-)rasa’. This is further acted upon by its respective agni leading to its conversion into the successive dhātu, e.g. blood (rakta).
