<big>'''Sutra Sthana Chapter 24. Characteristics of Shonita (Blood), its vitiation and disorders '''</big>
<big>'''Abstract'''</big>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Blood is important for maintaining vitality of individuals. It is also the most important factor in patho-physiology of any disease as it carries vitiated dosha leading to disease. This chapter focuses on rakta dhatu (blood tissue), delineating the characteristic features of pure blood as well as the factors influencing the formation of blood. Pure blood (Shuddha rakta) is formed by following proper dietary habits. Therefore, characteristics of pure blood, the causative factors for vitiation of blood, dosha specific features of vitiated blood, their treatment and procedure of bloodletting are described in this chapter. Since blood plays an important role in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, a description of ailments such as mada (intoxication/confusion), murchha (syncope), and sanyasa (coma), their pathology and courses of treatment, and mind’s role in the pathogenesis of some of these diseases have also been provided. </div>

=== Abstract ===
== Introduction ==
<div style="text-align:justify;">
<div style="text-align:justify;">
In the previous chapters of ''Yojana Chatushka'' (tetrad on management protocol), procedures for the management of disorders caused due to vitiation of three ''doshas'' were described. In continuation, the present chapter describes the management principles of disorders due to ''shonita'' (blood) vitiation. Formation of pure blood is very important for survival because blood is vital for sustaining life [1,2]. Origin, development, and survival of the body depend on blood [3]. Various etiological factors for vitiation of ''rakta'' have been explained in this chapter. Vitiated ''rakta'' causes various diseases e.g. stomatitis, redness in the eye, etc. If cold (or hot) and rough (or unctuous) ''dravyas'' are used for treatment without response, ''raktaja vikara'' (blood disorder) should be the reason. The line of treatment for ''raktaja vikara'' constitutes courses of treatment for ''raktapitta'' (i.e., prescribed for cases of vitiated ''pitta'' such as purgation and fasting, along with bloodletting). The physical appearance of pure blood has been described to be of golden colors, like red lotus, firefly, ''lakh'' (''laksha''), the fruit of ''gunja'' (Abrus precatorius Linn.). Any deviation from these could be explained to be due to ''vikaras'' or disorders. Some of the prominent blood-related disorders such as ''mada'' (intoxication), ''murchcha'' (syncope) and ''sanyasa'' (coma) have therefore been described in this chapter. Their etiopathogenesis, types, symptoms and grades of severity - in this sequence - have been explained, along with some suggested courses of treatment. In the case of ''mada'' and ''murchcha'', purificatory measures ([[Panchakarma]]) have been suggested, while for ''sanyasa'', an emergency treatment (''attyaika chikitsa'') should be followed.

Due to vitiated ''vata,'' blood becomes arunabham (reddish), non-slimy, frothy and thin. Due to vitiated ''pitta'', it becomes yellow or blackish, with delayed coagulation because of heat. Due to vitiated ''kapha'' it is slightly pale, slimy, fibrous and more viscous. In the case of combination of vitiated ''doshas'', it acquires mixed characters and in ''sannipata'', has symptoms of all the three ''doshas''.[20-21]

After bloodletting, it is beneficial to take diet that is neither too hot nor cold, is light (to digest), and is appetizing. During this period, the body is vulnerable to relapse of various other forms of blood-related diseases, so the ''agni'' (digestive power) should be protected with care. [23]

When a person indulges in spoiled food and unhealthy habits, he develops a clouded sensorium with ''rajas'' and ''tamas'' qualities. The vitiated ''doshas'', singly or in combination, reside and obstruct the channels that carry ''rakta, rasa'' (plasma), and consciousness. This leads to various diseases such as ''mada'' (intoxication), ''murchcha'' (syncope), and ''sanyasa'' (coma) which are etiologically, symptomatically and therapeutically progressive. Vitiated ''doshas'' distress the mind and alter the sensorium leading to further impairment of consciousness. [25-29]

A person with angry and harsh tongue, quarrelsome, tends to be physical with a red, yellow and black face should be known to be suffering from ''paittika mada''. The one affected with ''kaphaja mada'' speaks less with incoherence, seems drowsy and lethargic, is pale and is continuously in a state of anxiety. In ''sannipataja mada'', all these features are found in combination. [30-33]

''Mada'' and ''murchcha'' subside on their own when the vitiated ''doshas'' subside. However, ''sanyasa'' (coma) does not subside without medical treatment. In weak patients, when vitiated ''doshas'' move into a vital organ (i.e. brain and heart) and start affecting speech, physical movement, and the mind, coma ensues. A person affected with coma appears to be in a vegetative state or seems dead. Death can occur if prompt and effective treatment is not given. The physician should manage a comatose patient just as a wise person recovers a utensil sinking in deep water quickly before it settles down in the bottom.

When the patient regains consciousness, he should be given a light diet and should be entertained with interesting stories or anecdotes, memoirs, pleasing talks, enchanting songs, and live music, and colorful scenery. Moreover, he should be treated with purgation, emesis, smoking, collyriums, gargles, bloodletting, exercise and rubbing over the body. His mind should be protected well from the causes of distress or confusion. [42-53]

In the cases of ''mada'' and ''murchcha'', patients should be subjected to five (evacuative) measures, after proper oleation and fomentation, according to the ''dosha'' and strength of the person and the disease. Likewise, the administration of ''paniya-kalyana ghrita'', ''tiktashatpala ghrita'' or ''mahatikta ghrita'' is recommended. The use of ''triphala'' with ''ghrita'', honey and sugar, ''shilajatu,'' milk, ''pippali'' (Piper longum) or ''chitraka'' (Plumbago zeylanica Linn.) with milk, ''rasayana,'' and ''kaumbha'' (ten year old) ''ghrita'' are also beneficial.

''Mada'' and ''murchcha'' are alleviated by bloodletting and constantly keeping the patient regaled with anecdotes from the scriptures, and in the company of noble and intelligent persons. [54-58]

*''Mada, murchcha'', and ''sanyasa'' are caused due to vitiated doshas as well as ''rajas'' and ''tamas,'' which impair and obstruct ''rasavaha, raktavaha'', and ''sangyavahi srotas'' and are responsible for various states of consciousness. Altered sensorium and consciousness are caused by consumption of contaminated diet and conduct. Mind and body are equally involved in the pathology of intoxication, syncope, and coma. [25-29]

=== ''Vidhi Vimarsha'' ===
== Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences) ==
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 Charaka [[Vimana Sthana]] [3]) - food having six ''rasaja'', 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 Sutra'' [4]15/7 and ''Charaka Chikitsa'' [5] 15/28.[3]

Pure-blood is the basis of life as it nourishes ''dasha pranayatna'' (ten important “life areas” of the body: two temples, heart, head, bladder, throat, blood, semen, ''ojas'' and rectum [6], (Ch. Sha. 7/9) [7]. ''Rakta'' increases the physical strength, complexion, immunity, and vitality of life (Su.Su. 15/7) [8]. [4]

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]

Without going for blood investigations, a person with pure blood can be recognized by his physical appearance: glowing complexion, well-functioning sense organs, and a cheerful persona. Such a person has normal digestion, and natural urges are unobstructed. [24]

Blood supply, neuronal metabolism of the cerebral cortex, especially reticular formation, and limbic system are affected by vitiated ''dosha'' to impair consciousness, from acute confusion to deep coma. [25-29]
