A Conceptual Study of Rakta Pradoshaja Vikara

Abstract

Rakta Dhatuis the second Dhatuformed in the body which is responsible for the sustenance of Prana. It provides Bala, Varna, Sukha and Ayusha. Disease manifestation depends upon the immune status of the Dhatu in the body, which in turn depends upon the nutrition drawn from Ahara rasa. Hence it should be safeguarded through proper Ahara and Paniyaswithout any negligence. If RaktagetsvitiatedbytheDoshasthenit leads to"Rakta PradosajaVikaras" like Mukhapaka, Raktapittaetc. It is essential to have proper knowledge about Rakta Dhatu, its physiological and pathological states and their consequences on the body. Hence an attempt is made to study and understand through the authors’ perspective about Rakta Dhatu and its Vikarain all possible ways following the fundamental treatises.
