*''Rakta'' and ''pitta'' have a cause-and-effect relationship because of their common origin, and this fact is important in the pathogenesis and manifestation of ''raktapitta''. | |||
*The ''amla'' (sour), ''lavana'' (salty), ''katu'' (pungent) food articles with ''ushna'' (hot potency), ''tikshna'' (sharply acting) lead to vitiation of ''pitta dosha'' and blood. This causes ''abhishyanda'' (excess discharge leading to increase in volume of fluid) and ''guru'' (heaviness) in blood. This results in obstruction of ''raktavaha srotasa'' rooted in ''yakrita''(liver)-''pleeha'' (spleen) and ''raktapitta'' (hemorrhage). | |||
*''Raktapitta'' disorders can be classified by the route of bleeding. The vitiated ''pitta'' and ''rakta'' if gets associated with vitiated ''kapha'' causes bleeding from the upper orifices in the body. While if associated with vitiated ''vata'', it leads to bleeding from the lower orifices. Vitiation of all the three ''doshas'', from the standpoint of ''raktapitta'', is considered incurable. | |||
*Purification therapy from the opposite route is unique for the treatment of ''raktapitta''. If the bleeding is from upper orifices then purgation is done and if it is from the lower route then ''vamana'' is indicated. | |||
*Prognosis is based on ''dosha'', route, purification treatment, and availability of effective medicines. | |||
