=== Abstract ===
''Raktapitta'' is a disease not yet known to modern medical science. It is a treatable bleeding disorder, if recognized and managed in early stage. If diagnosis is missed and disease is not managed properly, it becomes life threatening (''mahagada''). Unlike most other bleeding disorders which are hereditary, ''raktapitta'' is acquired and occurs because of excessive aggravation of ''pitta'' and its affliction with ''rakta''. Before initiation of treatment, it is important to assess strength of the patient because the treatment regimen is personified for well nourished and emaciated persons. Etiology, classification, prognosis and treatment of ''raktapitta'' have been described in detail. A good number of herbal and animal preparations are given. Further, this chapter enumerates aspects that are favorable or unfavorable to ''raktapitta''. To improve the efficacy of treatment, external beneficial measures, such as ''pradeha, parisheka, sheetasnana'' and habitat are described at the end of chapter.
