===Examination of normalblood===
A person who is following a regimen or conduct suitable to a location (desha-satmya), time (kala-satmya), and habit or lifestyle (oka-satmya), when he takes food according to ahara vidhi visheshayatana (as described in the first chapter of Charak [[Vimana Sthana]]) - food having six taste (rasa), taken at proper time, proper place, in proper quantity, and that which is wholesome in nature, will have pure (or healthy) blood. Pure blood formed after proper digestion of food is full of nutritional values necessary for life. Formation of pure blood takes place due to extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors are obtained from dietary sources. On the other hand, intrinsic factors are generated inside the body, such as Ranjaka pitta and majjagata substances (bone marrow). The importance of pure blood is described in Sushruta Samhita Vidhishonitiya adhyaya.[1] [3]
Pure-blood is the basis of life as it nourishes dasha pranayatana (ten important “life areas” of the body: two temples, heart, head, bladder, throat, blood, semen, [[ojas]] and rectum. [Cha.Sa.[[Sharira Sthana]] 7/9] [[Rakta]] increases the physical strength, complexion, immunity, and vitality of life. [4]
===Examination of normal blood===
The normalcy of blood is assessed on the basis of its observational features.

===Management===
The recommended therapies for the treatment of vitiated blood disorders – such as bloodletting - are not to be administered or applied in all diseases. Like in the case of any disease, treatment measures are to be selected according to the nature of the disease and condition of the patient. Bloodletting should be administered till the vitiated [[dosha]] are eliminated from blood. [18]
Any line of treatment should be planned to keep in mind the basic principles of blood coagulation as described in Ayurvedic texts. [20-21]
After bloodletting is administered, the patient should be prescribed a nourishing diet and regimen that rejuvenates his blood, and thus, vitalizes his life. The diet shall not interfere with the coagulation process or vitiate his blood but should aid in the bodily processes to replenish blood.[23]

The absence of abnormal movements and postures differentiates murchcha (syncope) from apasmara (epilepsy). If there are abnormal movements or postures while falling unconscious, syncope and pseudo-syncope should be ruled out. [35-41]
====Coma (sanyasa)====
====Coma (sanyasa)====
The episodes Intoxication (mada) and syncope (murchha) subside without any medical treatment. But immediate medical intervention is needed for coma (sanyasa). [A.Hr. Nidhana Sthana 6/36] Medical treatment is required to prevent recurrent episodes of disease and correct vitiation of blood tissues.

Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis should be considered to gain an understanding of blood disorders (raktaja vikara). Electrolyte imbalances should be evaluated for the keen diagnosis of mada, murchcha, and sanyasa. [59-60]
