Concerning ''rajayakshma'', the protogenesis, etiological factors, premonitory symptoms band syndromes of designations and symptoms have been described in brief and methods of treatment extensively. Explanations of the designation of ''rajayakshma,'' incurable, curable, and formidable conditions: these have been addressed in this chapter on the ‘ Therapeutics of ''rajayakshma'' ’.

*Over–exertion beyond one’s capacity, suppression of natural urges, depletion of tissue elements and irregular dietary habits are the etiological factors of ''rajayakshma''. | |||
*The symptoms are manifested where the vitiated ''dosha'' are lodged and interact with the ''dhatu''. | |||
*One shall know his own capacity or tolerance before starting any kind of activity. Otherwise the activities done beyond one’s capacity leads to depletion of ''dhatu'', vitiation of ''vata'' and ''rajayakshma''. | |||
*One shall not suppress the natural urge to prevent vitiation of ''vata dosha'' and ''rajayakshma''. | |||
*The ''samprapti'' (pathogenesis) of ''rajayakshma'' includes obstruction in channels and depletion of ''dhatus''. | |||
*Normally, the ''dhatus'' of the body get metabolized (being acted upon) by their own ''ushmas'' or ''dhatvagnis'' (transforming enzymes in the tissue elements). From these ''dhatus'', (nutrient tissue elements), the other ''dhatus'' (next ''dhatu'' to it that which receive nourishment) gets nourished through their respective ''srotas'' (channels of circulation). (For example, a ''poshaka rasa dhatu'' would nourish the ''rakta dhatu''). | |||
*''Rajayakshma'' is manifested if there is any obstruction to a ''srotas'' or if there is diminution of stable tissue elements like ''rakta'' or if there is diminution of ''dhatu-ushmas'' or ''dhatvagnis'' then. | |||
