Biomedical textbooks rarely discuss the pathophysiology of bleeding disorders in terms of diet or nutrition, unlike [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda]. There is, therefore, a need to research the correlation between food articles and bleeding disorders. The following food substances are etiological factors of ''raktapitta'', since these seem to act as blood thinners and can cause bleeding disorders in predisposed patients: (C.Ni. 2/4)

Also, the pathogenesis of blood disorders do not mention why a body would be predisposed to vessel wall problems, platelet dysfunctions, or clot inhibitions. Bleeding from different orifices of the body is not correlated with pathophysiology in biomedicine. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] however discusses ''raktapitta'' as an endpoint to a series of imbalancing events, and separates the discussion of diagnosis in [[Nidana Sthana]] from the discussion of treatment in [[Chikitsa Sthana]].
