Type: article
Abstract: From time immemorial, in Ayurveda, man firmly embedded the doctrine that the existence of health and strength in the body is provided by a complex equilibrium of bodily tissues. These tissues were named dhatus, of which seven are fundamental, and the tenth, in this case, is essential. The latter includes Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue), which provides necessary nourishment to the body and maintains constructive processes in the body. When this dhatu is imbalanced, Rakta Dhatu Kshaya is diagnosed, which is characterized by increased concern due to the patient’s physical weakness, increased paleness, and increased nerd energy. Knowledge of the physiological issues of Rakta Dhatu Kshaya applies to Ayurveda as well as modern health views, as many modern-day conditions manifest all the characteristics of Rakta Dhatu Kshaya, but have a different name. In this regard, this work aims to reveal the complex features of the Rakta Dhatu, considering its role in overall health and balance, based on a deep study of classical Ayurvedic scriptures and modern scientific literature. The current paper examines novel research to identify particular physiological issues with the deficiency of Rakta Dhatu Kshaya using an analysis of diagnostic criteria and clinical representations. Finally, it aims to combine Ayurveda practices with modern health views to emphasize ways to treat lifestyle and diet changes that can reverse the effects of the lack of Rakta Dhatu. This study is intended to prove the validity of Ayurvedic theories in the modern health discipline as well as to develop an understanding of the importance of Rakta Dhatu in the existence of vitality and general health.
